Answer:

Stream volume and speed directly affects the size, shape, and flow of streams and rivers.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The greater volume results in larger channels and these larger channels will make the flow of stream faster.
  • The flow volume of different streams are related to precipitation and run-off.
  • The earth materials also heavily effect the flow by changing the properties of the water like increase in the mass, hardness, shape, etc.
  • Erosion and deposition is common in the curving type of stream.
