Ephemeral deserts streams dry up before they reach the ocean
High gradient streams have steeper slopes, which means they have more energy and power to transport larger sediment particles. The fast flowing water in high gradient streams can effectively carry and move these large particles due to the force of the water flow.

Polar jet streams
The streams and rivers would incise (cut down into) the land in order to achieve their desired gradient.
The gradient typically decreases as you move from the headwaters to the mouth of a stream. This is because the elevation drops and the slope becomes gentler downstream.
Jet streams are associated with fronts because they form along the boundaries between air masses with different temperatures and densities. The strong gradient in temperature and pressure across fronts can create intense winds aloft, which contribute to the formation and intensification of jet streams. This interaction helps to generate the fast-moving, narrow bands of air known as jet streams.
Water erosion, mostly by streams and rivers that have a high gradient and discharge.
Because jet streams are above the friction layer, they have a negligible effect. The wind is balanced by the Coriolis effect and the pressure gradient so that the winds flow parallel to isobars.
A steeper gradient of a stream allows it to flow faster, carrying more energy that can be used to erode soil and rock more efficiently. Slower-moving streams with a gentler gradient have less energy available for erosion.
Seasons significantly influence jet streams due to variations in temperature between the equator and the poles. During winter, the temperature gradient is stronger, causing jet streams to be faster and more pronounced, often resulting in more extreme weather patterns. In summer, the gradient weakens, leading to slower and more meandering jet streams, which can also affect weather systems. These seasonal changes in jet stream behavior impact storm tracks and precipitation patterns across different regions.
Bed load is mainly found in mountain streams with high gradients because the fast-flowing water in these streams has enough energy to transport larger sediments like rocks and boulders along the stream bed. In contrast, lower-gradient streams do not have enough energy to move larger particles, resulting in finer sediments being transported as suspended load or dissolved load instead of as bed load.
