Graded profile is the term given to the long profile of a river in equilibrium, when inputs and outputs are balanced. A graded profile shows a gradient that decreases progressively down valley.
Over a long period of time, a river may display an even and progressive decrease in gradient down the valle, creating the typical cmooth concave shape which has adjusted to the discharge and load of the river.
Hey need help on a definition
