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.

Lowering a stream's base level will cause the stream to?
If you lower a stream base level it will cause a down cut. In some cases this is a good thing.
What is the best example of erosion?
A good example of Erosion would be like after a hard rain, the rain drains and makes a little crevice like a little stream that's lower than the surrounding dirt.
What causes caves to become dry?
Such a cave is called "abandoned" or "fossil"; a stage reached when it loses itsr formative stream. Either a series within the cave is abandoned when the stream cuts down to a lower level within the limestone; or the whole cave is abandoned when surface erosion removes or diverts the stream feeding the cave entirely. Fossil caves local to me (on the South coast of England) have entrances some 100 to 200 feet above sea-level, in sea-cliffs, because the erosion here, influenced by sea-level changes in the present Ice Age,has both cut the coast back and totallyremoved the caves' original catchment area!
What must result in a lower base level for rivers and streams?
The results of a lower base lever for rivers and streams is the sea level falls and the land rises. The base level is the level below which a stream cannot erode.
What is the normal pH of a stream?
The normal pH of a stream ranges between 6.5 to 8.5. A pH value that is higher or lower than this range would adversely affect the survival of the aquatic organisms living the stream.
Do jet stream occur in the mesosphere?
No. The jet stream is in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere.
What is erosion caused by wind that can lower the land surface?
scour, or eolian erosion
Why water flows from higer level to lower?
Gravity is what causes a river to flow from higher to lower elevation. A river travels at a faster speed the higher the elevation and will typically cause greater erosion.
Why does a river valley become flat in the lower course?
The river valley becomes flat in its lower course due to the levels of erosion occurring in the river itself. In the upper course, the river's energy is used for vertical erosion(downward erosion) in order to get to sea level. That's why you see steep V-shaped valleys or Gorges being formed. However, in the lower course when the river is at sea level, a lot of this erosion becomes lateral(horizontal) which is why you see rivers becoming a lot wider in the lower course. Therefore, because the river is no longer eroding downwards there's no longer a difference in height between it and its valley, so the river valley becomes flat.
What is an explanation of external force?
External forces are the forces that can lower the level of the land by washing it away and.this.is called denudation and rise the level this.is called decomposition Denudation can be weathering and erosion
