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.

Rivers and streams are freshwater sources. Rivers and stream shape, size and flow are affected by the volume, speed.

Speed of water is affected by geography as the steeper places have a high water flow rate compared to lower regions.

Streams emerging from steep places have high erosion capability and makes them narrow and deep.

When the geographical gradients are less steep then the stream flows down and forces its way on the river bed. This type of stream is shallow and wide in size.

The high volume of streams and rivers causes more erosion and will be bigger as they have more weight compared to low volume streams.
