base level

Explanation:

• Gradient: Refers to the slope of a stream, not the limit of erosion.
• Longitudinal profile: Is the cross - sectional view of a stream's path, not the erosion limit.
• Base limit: Not a standard geological term for this concept.
• Base level: Defined as the lowest level to which a stream can erode its channel.

Base level
