Why does the greatest erosion and transportation of sediment by a stream occur during a flood?
As flood waters rise, the slope of the stream as it flows to it's base level increases
Explain why flowing water in a stream goes in a lake or ocean?
Water always flows in the direction of gravity. After precipitation happens all of the water that has fallen on land collects and flows towards the sea. A lake is just a large storage of fresh water in land that is usually at sea level and therefore flows slowly, if at all.
How deep can a stream erode?
· The stream will erode down through its bed to achieve the base level of erosion throughout its course. If this base level is low, then the stream will rapidly cut through underlying strata and have a steep gradient, and if the base level is relatively high, then the stream will form a flood plain and meander. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream
Can a stream flow below sea level?
Yes, but its destination will not be the open sea, but a basin below sea level.
Why does a stream bottom erode more deeply when its water level rises in a flood?
The stream bottom erodes more deeply when its water level rises in a flood; therefore, the more volume and sediments water carries along, the more bottom of a stream is being eroded away thus it deeper.
What is the Lowest level that a stream flows into?
The lowest base level a stream may flow into is sea level in which it flows into the ocean.
A stream flows from a mountain peak into a lake What is the base level if the stream?
The level of the lake
How might lower base level affect stream erosion?
increases the vertical distance between the source and destination increasing energy.
What is a level of the body of water a stream flows into?
I'm sorry but that isn't a proper question.

How does a stream base level affect how it downcuts it channel?
Streams can't erode their channels endlessly. there is a lower limit to how deep can a stream erode. Base level is the lowest point to which a stream can erode its channels.

What would lowering a stream's base level will cause the stream to do?
Lowering a stream's base level will cause the stream to do what?
How do you get diamouds on Minecraft?
I find diamonds by mining at bedrock level.
What will lowering a streams base level cause the stream to do?
Lowering a stream's base level will cause the stream to do what?
Can one river be the base level for another?
The base level of a river is the lowest place where it can flow, generally it's mouth. Therefore if a river or stream flows into another river, then the first river's base level is the point where it joins the other river.
Is the bedrock at the South Pole at or below sea level?
No, the bedrock at the South Pole is not at or below sea level. The South Pole sits on the Antarctic Plateau, which is a high, flat, and elevated region with an average height of 9,800 feet (3,000 meters) above sea level. The bedrock beneath the ice is also above sea level.
