It describes streams and rivers as vital transporters of eroded materials, with streams varying in size and speed. The page details how streams carry materials through different loads and create floodplains and levees, while rivers deposit sediments forming deltas and alluvial fans. Deltas occur where river velocity decreases at ocean edges, and alluvial fans develop in flat, arid areas.
