because the mountain streams are steep and the flow is rapid so they cannot normally carry large fragments as they have speed of flow but not enough volume.

Why do mountain streams have V-shaped valleys?

Mountain streams have V-shaped valleys because of the erosive force of running water. The water flowing in the stream wears away the rock and soil in the valley through processes like abrasion and hydraulic action, creating a downward sloping V shape. This erosion deepens and widens the valley over time, forming the characteristic V-shaped valleys seen in mountainous regions.


Why is there a stream at the top of a mountain?

Why are so many streams going dry in places where aggressive extraction of groundwater occurs?

Aggressive extraction of groundwater can deplete underground water sources faster than they can naturally recharge, causing streams to go dry. When groundwater is over-pumped, the equilibrium between surface water and underground water is disrupted, leading to reduced flow in streams that are dependent on groundwater for their water supply. This can have negative impacts on ecosystems, wildlife, and communities that rely on those streams for water resources.

Why is the waterfall found at the edge of a mountain?

Waterfalls at the edge of a mountain are usually formed by rivers or streams flowing over the edge due to the steep terrain. The force of gravity causes the water to cascade down, creating a dramatic waterfall. Erosion and changes in underlying rock formations also contribute to the formation of waterfalls at mountain edges.
