cutting down
Gradient streams cause downcutting in their valleys because as water flows downhill, it erodes the soil and rock beneath it. This process of erosion deepens the stream channel over time, leading to the formation of valleys through downcutting. Additionally, steeper gradients result in faster water flow and increased erosive power, further accelerating downcutting.
True
A stream lengthens when downcutting occurs, downcutting is when the bottom of the stream is slowly dug out, this process will dig at the end of the river until it becomes part of the river.

Rapids and lots of whitewater
A narrow v-shaped valley
deposition upstream from the dam; channel downcutting below
V-shaped valleys are primarily formed by downcutting as a stream cuts vertically downwards into the landscape over time. This process is often seen in youthful stage rivers, where erosion is focused on deepening the channel.
Badlands are formed by erosional processes, mainly that of water downcutting the soft clay.
In a youthful stage of valley evolution, downcutting streams erode the land vertically, carving deeper channels and creating steep-walled valleys. These streams have high energy and are actively eroding the landscape, leading to the formation of V-shaped valleys characteristic of early stages of valley development.
Matched alluvial terraces are formed by the repeated cycle of river aggradation and downcutting, where rivers deposit sediment to create terraces during periods of aggradation, followed by downcutting which exposes the older terraces. This cycle repeats over time leaving behind a series of terraces that show a pattern of matching elevations along the river valley.
They are formed by the downcutting of a river or stream channel into and the abandonment and lateral erosion of its former floodplain.(Source: wikipedia)P.SPlease answer my question! :) I am Chocolate098
