D) channel slope

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stream power per stream bed area is not a determining factor for whether a stream will have a meandering or braided pattern. Factors like bank stability, discharge variability, and channel slope are more directly influential in determining a stream's pattern. Stream power per stream bed area relates more to the stream's ability to transport sediment rather than the formation of its channel pattern.
