Explanation:

The speed of water in a stream is affected by the gradient of the geography. The steeper the geography the higher the speed of the water flow and the higher the erosion capacity of the stream. This means the stream will be narrow and deep. There is also less meandering of the stream.

When the gradient is less steep, the stream flow slows down and so does the erosion force it bears especially on the river bed. This therefore result in a higher horizontal erosion than vertical erosion. The steam becomes wide and shallow. The stream is also more likely to meander.

The volume of water in the stream also affects the size, shape, and flow of streams and rivers. A higher volume of water has more erosion power due to the weight of the water column. The stream is, therefore, more likely to be bigger in size than a stream that carries low water volume.

What does it mean to be sustainable?
lord [1]

Answer:

To be sustainable is to be able to maintained at a certain rate. It's to keep things continuous and viable. For example, wind energy is sustainable compared to oil because wind is easier to get than oil. Another example is if a country only has about 10-13 crimes a year for 20 years, crime is sustainable in that country.

A positive feedback loop, where the product signals for the production of more reactant, is maintained homeostasis.
OleMash [197]

False

Homeostasis is defined as the process of resisting change in order to maintain a stable environment. It typically involves negative feedback loops as these loops prohibits the change to occur in the human body system and maintain a constant internal environment. While positive feedback is the process of amplifying the stimulus produced within the body.

Homeostasis is thus regulated by negative feedback loops and rearely regulated by the positive feedback loops.
