The topography of Bangladesh is frequently altered due to floods.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- Even though Bangladesh is a small country, it has considerable topographic diversity.
- It has three prominent features - a large alluvial plain subject to frequent flooding, a slightly elevated relatively older plain and a small hill region drained by flashy rivers.
- Bangladesh experiences heavy monsoon rains, especially over the highlands.
- Causes of flooding in Bangladesh include -
i. monsoon climate which brings heavy rains.
ii. spring snow-melt which results in soil erosion and a rapid increase in river discharge.
ii. deforestation in head water areas due to increasing population in Nepal and Tibet.
iv. rivers slit-up due to increased soil erosion which raises river beds and lowers the capacity of the channel resulting in floods.

Answer:
A stream in a bedrock valley located 5000 feet above ultimate base level that is draining a mountainous region in the headwater of a stream system would have a _____.
high gradient, and a narrow and shallow channel with no floodplain
Explanation:
A bedrock valley has no alluvium mantling the bedrock over which it flows. Alluvium (consists of sand, gravel, silt, clay, and gravel, as well as other organic matters) mantlings or coverings are usually developed in the lower part of the river with the formation of floodplains and deltas. They may also be deposited at lakes or river banks. Headwater streams deliver nutrients and other organic materials (e.g. fallen leaves) to downstream regions to sustain downstream aquatic life.
