Is a river with a gradient that is less steep than those of youthful rivers and flows more slowly. It is fed by many tributaries and has more discharge than a youthful river and its channels erode wider rather than deeper.

What is the definition for young stream?

A1 a creekA2 Well, sometimes a question is easier to answer from the other end, in this case, 'what is a mature stream'. A mature stream would have a well developed drainage pattern in a mature landscape. Mature in this sense means without major or frequent changes.So our young stream will have a juvenile landscape, in which the drainage pattern is still developing. Changes of the landscape may be fairly frequent.Our stream will probably be small in volume, and will be steeper of gradient.The drainage pattern of a stream system is mainly determined by the dip and strike of the rock basement, for this will constrain the development pattern and direction. So the stream does not have an untrammeled behavior.
