underfit stream (un‐der‐fit) A misfit stream that appears to be too small to have eroded the valley in which it flows; a stream whose volume is greatly reduced or whose meanders show a pronounced shrinkage in radius. It is a common result of drainage changes effected by capture, by glaciers, or by climatic variations (Bates and Jackson 1987, 712).
