Watershed characteristics are the physical and biological features that describe a watershed, such as its size, shape, elevation, slope, geology, vegetation, and water flow patterns. Some of the key watershed characteristics include:

1. Size and Shape: Watersheds can range in size from small headwater streams to large river basins, and can have varying shapes, such as circular, linear, or irregular.

2. Elevation: The elevation of a watershed can greatly affect the amount and distribution of precipitation, as well as the temperature and energy dynamics within the watershed.

3. Slope: The slope of a watershed determines the rate at which water flows down the landscape and can impact the formation of streams, rivers, and wetlands.

4. Geology: The geology of a watershed, including rock type and soil composition, can greatly affect the way water is stored and transported within the watershed.

5. Vegetation: The type and distribution of vegetation in a watershed ____________ ___ ____________ _______ __ ___ _____ _____________ __________.
