Answer:

Streams carry most of the water that goes from the land to the sea, and thus are an important part of the water cycle.

Streams carry billions of tons of sediment to lower elevations, and thus are one of the main transporting mediums in the production of sedimentary rocks.

Streams carry dissolved ions, the products of chemical weathering, into the oceans and thus make the sea salty.

Streams are a major part of the erosional process, working in conjunction with weathering and mass wasting. Much of the surface landscape is controlled by stream erosion, evident to anyone looking out of an airplane window.

Streams are a major source of water, waste disposal, and transportation for the world's human population. Most population centers are located next to streams.

When stream channels fill with water the excess flows onto the the land as a flood. Floods are a common natural disaster.

Answer:

Waterfall is a stream with its water flowing over a precipice or the vertical side of the mountain.

Explanation:

A waterfall is a river or other body of water's steep fall over a rocky ledge into a plunge pool below. Waterfalls are also called cascades. The process of erosion, the wearing away of earth, plays an important part in the formation of waterfalls. Waterfalls themselves also contribute to erosion.

They can turn waste into nutrients, increase oxygen in the water, and more. This then helps to provide better water to wildlife and plants in or around the body of water the waterfall empties into.
