Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2012

There is really only one downstream variable, and it is gradient change. However, the change occurs in four ways. A rise or a fall of base-level increases or decreases the gradient. The same impact on a channel occurs as the channel lengthens or shortens either naturally or by human influences.
