Ever wondered how rivers achieve that perfect balance between erosion and deposition over long stretches? This video explores the fascinating concept of a graded river longitudinal profile, a state of equilibrium where a river's energy is perfectly matched to its sediment load and channel morphology.

Discover the fundamental characteristics and principles behind graded river profiles:
► A graded river achieves a dynamic equilibrium between erosion and deposition, maintaining its form over time.
► Key factors like discharge, sediment load, channel slope, and bedrock resistance influence a river's graded state.
► The longitudinal profile typically shows a concave-up shape, steepening upstream and flattening downstream.
► Understanding graded rivers is crucial for predicting river behavior and managing fluvial systems.
► Changes in external conditions, like climate or land use, can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to adjustments in the river's profile.
