Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High-gradient streams typically have high stream orders, high velocities, steep slopes, and narrow valleys. They often have fewer but larger boulders and finer sediment, as their high energy can transport larger particles. Low stream order and low discharge are characteristics of low-gradient streams. Large, angular rocks may be found in both high-gradient and low-gradient streams, as they reflect the geology of the surrounding area.
