A youthful stream is swift flowing, has sharper contours and the banks would be steep, whereas a mature stream is more mellowed in pace, is slow flowing, and is wider than the river upstream. The banks wouls be more silted and have smaller gravel, which is not the case of the youthful stream.

∙ 13y agoMature river is a river with a gradient that is less steep than those of youthful rivers and flows more slowly than youthful rivers. A mature river is fed by many tributaries and has more discharge than a youthful river. Its channels erode wider rather than deeper. An example being the Mississippi River.
Youthful river is a river with a steep gradient that has very few tributaries and flows quickly. Its channels erode deeper rather than wider. An example being the Ebro River.
