Broad interstream divide
Глоссарий геологических терминов |
- (colloquial: southeastern usa) a type of very wide, low gradient (level to nearly level) interfluve that lacks a well developed drainage network such that large portions of the local upland lack stream channels or other drainageways; extensive in lower coastal plains and some lake plains, till plains and alluvial plain remnants. compare - interfluve. sw & rd
- A wide, relatively level area between incised drainageways; a broad, nearly level “summit” or interfluve. compare - broad interstream divide, interfluve. sw

Drainageway, английский
(a) a general term for a course or channel along which water moves in draining an area. gg; (b) [soil survey] a term restricted to relatively small, roughly linear or arcuate depressions that move concentrated water at some time, and either lack a defined channel (e.g. head slope, swale) or have a small, defined channel (e.g. low order streams). sw

Brook [streams], английский
(not preferred, refer to ephemeral stream) generally a very small, ephemeral stream, especially one that issues from a spring or seep and conducts less water volume and over shorter distances than a creek. compare - intermittent stream. gg
Braided stream, английский
A channel or stream with multiple channels that interweave as a result of repeated bifurcation and convergence of flow around inter-channel bars, resembling (in plan view) the strands of a complex braid. braiding is generally confined to broad, shallow streams of low sinuosity, high bed load, non-cohesive bank material, and a steep gradient. at a given bank-full discharge, braided streams have steeper slopes and shallower, broader, and less stable channel cross sections than meandering streams.
