Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Every stream develops its own gradient and establishes a longitudinal profile. A portion of the stream is designated a graded stream when the stream is adjusted among available discharge, channel characteristics, its velocity, and the load supplied from the drainage basin. An interruption in a stream’s longitudinal profile is called a nickpoint. A nickpoint can develop as the stream flows across hard resistant rock or after tectonic uplift episodes. 2, record 1, English, - nick%20point
