Document Summary

Missing terms: bedrock coasts, erosion, primary, secondary, and crevasses. Equilibrium profile - ideal profile where it is steepest at the source and gentle at the mouth base level and changes - lowest elevation a stream can reach at its given locality. Lower base level: there is a steeper profile so there is an increase in erosion. Sea level drop 2. subsidence at mouth 3. uplift at stream head 4. draining of lakes. rise in sea level causes uplift at the mouth so more deposition. Raise base level: shallow profile, infill (deposit sediment) shallow levels. Causes: 1. sea level rise 2. uplift at stream mouth 3. subsidence at head 4. creation of lakes types of drainage patterns - the pattern depends on the shape of the landscape and the composition of the substrate. Dendrite veins of leaf, flows over a uniform surface. Radial flows from center point like a mountain or volcano, like a wheel.
