The gradient of a river is the steepness of its slope.
How steep the river is e.g. the long profile
joust copy water air
Whitewater rapids.
the steepness of the river slope
Danube river gradient
If a river channel has a steep gradient, the river flows faster and has more erosive energy.
A river beginning high up in the mountains will fall sharply until the gradient levels out in the valleys. A river beginning in lower hills will naturally have a less steep gradient over all. Therefore, each river's longitudinal gradient will be different and there is no definitive answer.

A rejuvenated river is a river with a gradient that is raised by tectonic uplift.
A 'Rejuvenated' river is a river with a gradient that is raised by tectonic uplift.
the gradient and how much friction there was. The gradient means how steep the land the river is on so if it is very steep them the velocity will be higher.
The gradient of a stream affects the speed of the water as it moves downstream. The steeper the gradient, the faster the water moves.
The gradient of the River Amazon is very low. It is 1,000 miles or 1,610 kilometers upstream, and 100 feet or 30 meters downstream.
The gradient of a river is mostly flat or downhill which means that as the water flows it is affected by gravity. The steeper the gradient goes downhill, the more gravity will affect the water which will make the water flow faster (increases the velocity).
Rejuvenated river is a river with a gradient that is raised by tectonic uplift. An example being the Nile River.
The steeper a river's gradient, the faster and greater the erosive power is.
