it erodes on its bottom
The erosion of a stream's bottom or sides is primarily determined by factors such as water velocity, sediment load, and the geology of the streambed and banks. Higher water velocities can lead to increased bottom erosion, especially in areas with softer sediments. Conversely, when the stream's flow slows down or encounters resistant materials, lateral erosion of the banks may occur. Additionally, the presence of vegetation can stabilize banks, influencing the erosion patterns.
It erodes away the part of the mountain that the stream is on.
meander (pronounced mee yan der)
A stream bed is the bottom (floor) of the stream.
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.
a stream gets wider when it gets older and the water erodes the bed of the river to make it wider
The jet stream
The curve formed when water erodes one side of a stream is called a "meander." As the water flows, it exerts more force on the outer bank, leading to increased erosion there, while sediment is deposited on the inner bank, creating a bend in the stream. This process can lead to the formation of pronounced curves over time, contributing to the characteristic winding shape of meandering rivers.
Polar jet stream
All streams meander to some extent. The most likely time is when flow is consistent and gradient is uniform. See Braided Stream. When a stream has eroded the steep valleys to genteler slopes, the stream flows more slowly.Now water in the stream erodes along the sides of the stream bed rather than along the stream bottom. === ===
