What factors affect the erosion produced by a stream according to the text?

• The erosion produced by a stream depends on the amount of vegetation surrounding the stream

• The erosion produced by the stream depends on the stream's energy, which is usually greatest in steep, mountainous areas.

• The erosion produced by a stream depends on the number of fish living in the stream

• The erosion produced by a stream depends on the temperature of the water in the stream.
