Earth Surface Processes
Stream power is a measure of the energy available for doing work in a river or stream, calculated as the product of water discharge and the slope of the streambed. This concept helps to understand how streams can shape their channels, transport sediments, and influence erosion processes. The ability of a stream to move sediment and shape its environment depends on both the volume of water flowing and the steepness of the terrain it traverses.
congrats on reading the definition of stream power. now let's actually learn it.
