bank
What is the highest order a stream can be?
There is no limit.
How have sculpins and many darter species adapted as bottom clingers?
They have flattened heads and large pectoral fins that are angled to help them stay on the bottom in swift currents
When a stream from one watershed is “captured” by a stream from another watershed that has a higher rate of erosion it is called ________________.
Stream Piracy
Minerals that are transported in water as a solution are known as _________________.
Dissolved Load
Salt water
Giant squid

The part of the stream channel that is below the water level is called the _________________.
bed
When does the number of stream orders stop?
When the stream/river exits into the ocean/sea/bay.
How have insect nymphs adapted to life in the water?
Aquatic insects have legs adapted for swimming. They have gills that are attached at the rear end of the insect. Some have streamlined bodies and strong legs that allow them to hang on to rocks underwater.
The change in elevation over a given distance for a stream or river is called _________________.

In a meandering river, the suspended load moves faster in which part of the river?
On the outside of the curve.
Freshwater

Watershed
As a first-order stream flows and has 5 larger streams flowing into it, what order will it be at the end?
Sixth-order stream.
How have fish adapted to higher-order streams and rivers?
Fish that live in higher-order streams do not need stream-lined bodies. Fish in these streams and rivers can have all types of body shapes. However, the water will usually be more turbid and slower moving with higher-order streams and rivers, so fish adapt to these changing conditions.
At the beginning of a stream, the gradient generally is steep. This area of the stream has a high velocity, which causes rapid channel erosion this is known as the ________________________.
