it depends which stream it is because they are all different sizes.
Temperature typically does not have a direct impact on the size and speed of a stream. Factors such as rainfall, topography, and land use have a more significant influence on stream size and speed.
The largest size particle that a stream can carry is typically referred to as the stream's competency limit. This limit is reached when the stream's velocity is no longer able to transport a particle of a certain size due to its weight and shape, causing the particle to be deposited on the streambed instead.
The sediment size carried by the stream increases. EW
The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.

The answer is carrying capacity.
tributary is the collective term A tributary is a smaller stream which flows into a larger river. The name of an individual stream depends on the size of the stream. It may be a river or a creek or a canal if it is manmade.
In a stream, heavy sediments settle quickly and finer sediments stay suspended in the water and get carried down stream farther, even as the stream shrinks in size.
It can be any size depending on the stream. But it's usually at a shallow point. Or did you mean RIFLE?
When stream flow decreases to below the critical settling velocity of a certain size particle, the particle will settle out of suspension and deposit on the streambed. This process is known as sediment deposition and is influenced by factors such as stream velocity, particle size, and sediment concentration.
Some have it; there is no problem with it.
A stream bed is the bottom sediment layer of the stream channel which is constantly inundated with water. It is a saturated layer of sediment inhabitated by macroinvertibrates, algae, macrophytes, and microbes. The particle size of the stream bed material (fine clay vs large rock and boulders) is dependent on geologic region, size of the stream, and stream velocity. The stream bank is the adjacent sloping walls that confine the stream on either side. They are typically not wet except in times of high flows. Banks typically can grow more terrestrial vegetation such as reeds, grasses, and trees.
