This site features a narrated QuickTime animation of graded streams. It discusses relationships between stream water level and high and low water velocity, erosion, bedload transport, deposition and floods. This visualization is from Chapter 17 (Fluvial Processes and Landforms) of the animations section of the Instructor Companion Site for the Wiley Higher Education textbook (ISBN 0-471-23800-7) Physical Geography: Science and Systems of the Human Environment, Second Edition by Alan Strahler.
