The wearing down of soil and bedrock of a river or stream creates a channel, which is a trough or groove formed by the flow of water. This channel path is where the river or stream flows and carries sediment downstream. Over time, erosion can widen and deepen the channel, shaping the landscape.
The land form often formed at the mouth of a heavily silted stream is called a delta. This triangular-shaped area is created as the sediment carried by the stream is deposited when the water flow slows down upon entering a larger body of water, such as an ocean or a lake. Deltas are often fertile areas due to the rich soil deposited by the stream.
Deposition of stream load occurs when the velocity of the stream decreases, causing the stream to lose the energy needed to carry sediment. As a result, sediment particles are deposited on the streambed or banks. This typically happens in areas where the stream's slope decreases or the stream widens.
The polar jet stream is generally stronger and faster-moving than the subtropical jet stream. The polar jet stream forms at higher latitudes and is located closer to the poles, while the subtropical jet stream is located at lower latitudes. The polar jet stream is associated with larger temperature contrasts and stronger pressure gradients, resulting in stronger winds compared to the subtropical jet stream.
The source of a stream is called a headwater or headstream. This is where the stream initially begins, often from a spring or melting snow.
