A
As river travels downstream characteristics change
Helped pick my hypothesis
Linked to location as based on a closed system

Q
Strahler
A
Theory that as stream order increases more water is in channel so characteristics change
Picked each location by stream order
1st O.S. Sinen Gill
2nd O.S. Sinen Gill + Glenderaterra Beck
3rd O.S. Glenderaterra Beck +Roughten Gill
Each order stream mean that a new tributary entered main channel and therefore the results at each location would be considerably different

Q
Hjulstrøm
A
Size of pebbles change as the velocity of the river increased
At 3rd O.S. Size of pebbles likely to be smaller and more rounded as velocity and discharge are higher
