  2. CHAPTER OBJECTIVES 1 Running water, one part of the hydrologic cycle, does considerable geologic work. Water is continuously cycled from the oceans to land and back to the oceans. 2 Gradient measures how steep a stream is. Discharge measures the volume of water that passes a given point per unit of time. Discharge, along with velocity, usually increases downstream. 3 Running water transports large quantities of sediment and deposits sediment in or adjacent to braided and meandering rivers. 4 Flooding is a natural part of stream activity that takes place when a channel receives more water than it can handle. 5 Alluvial fans (on land) and deltas (in a standing body of water) are deposited when a stream’s capacity to transport sediment decreases. 6 Rivers and streams continuously adjust to changes. Base level is the elevation below which a stream cannot erode. Waterfalls and lakes are temporary base levels, and the sea is ultimate base level.

  3. CHAPTER OBJECTIVES 7 The concept of a graded stream is an ideal, although many rivers and streams approach the graded condition. 8 Most valleys form and change in response to erosion by running water coupled with other geologic processes such as mass wasting.
