No, it does not
Yes, a fast-moving stream uses energy to maintain its flow velocity. The energy comes from gravity, which causes the water to flow downhill and overcome resistance from friction with the stream bed and banks.
Fast moving stream
A fast-moving stream is called a river or a torrent.
a stream or river that has low gradient has less energy for erosion
a riffle is a short fast moving stream.
It is called deposition. It occurs as friction or gravity overcomes the force of the moving water.
A stream flowing down a mountain is moving to fast to form meanders.
deposition
When the water from the stream flows onto a flat plain it countines to flow but not as fast as before it becomes a slow moving stream. It may even become completely still.
Kinetic energy is the type of energy that depends on how fast the molecules in a substance are moving.
