Answer:

Differentiated below

Step-by-step explanation:

- Stream load is defined as the quantity of solid matter that's carried by the erosion of the stream.

- Stream discharge is defined as the quantity (which is volume) of water that passes a given point for a particular amount of time.

- Stream Gradient is defined as the slope of the stream. This is basically expressed as:

Stream gradient = Change in elevation between two points on a stream รท actual distance between the two points where water actually flows.
