Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First order streams are typically found at the highest elevations as they are formed from small, tributary streams that have not yet joined with larger streams. As streams descend in elevation and merge with others, they increase in size and order. Therefore, second order streams are formed from the merger of two first order streams, third order streams are formed from the merger of two second order streams, and so on.
