Stream Drainage Systems: Stream Drainage Systems: Stream Order Stream Order (new 2012)(new 2012)
Stream order is a measure of Stream order is a measure of the relative size of streams. the relative size of streams. Stream sizes range from the Stream sizes range from the smallest, first-order, to the smallest, first-order, to the largest, the twelfth-order (the largest, the twelfth-order (the Amazon River).Amazon River).
Over 80% of the total length of Over 80% of the total length of Earth's rivers and streams are Earth's rivers and streams are headwater streams (first- and headwater streams (first- and second-order). second-order).

Calculations of Sinuosity Calculations of Sinuosity (new 2012)(new 2012) Calculating SinuositySinuosity (P) is calculated as the ratio of the
channel length (lc) to the distance of the valley (lv): P = lc / lv
To measure channel length, use a piece of string to measure the length of the channel, being sure to include all bends of the channel. Then use the string to measure the length of the valley, using the contour lines on the map to make sure you stay within the valley.
Calculate sinuosity by dividing channel length by valley length measured on the map.

Stream Capture (Piracy)Stream Capture (Piracy) The stream on the right has a steeper gradient than the stream on the
left. At the red arrow, headward erosion is wearing into the divide separating the left stream system from the right stream system.
Eventually, this stream may cut through the divide and "capture" the headwaters, diverting them into the stream system on the right. STREAM PIRACY has occurred.

Lake Features: StratificationLake Features: Stratification
Lake stratification is the separation of lakes into three layers: Epilimnion - top of the lake. Metalimnion (or thermocline) -
middle layer that may change depth throughout the day.
Hypolimnion - the bottom layer. The thermal stratification of lakes
refers to a change in the temperature at different depths in the lake, and is due to the change in water's density with temperature.
