Explain why the water depth at point A is greater than the water depth at point
C
Question 3

Question 10
10.
Describe any conditions that might cause the rate of erosion in a stream to
increase
Question 11
11.
Look at the image above. At which location is the greatest amount of sediment
most likely being deposited?
A
B
C
D
A decrease in the velocity of this stream will most likely cause an increase in
the amount of sediment carried by the stream
deposition within the stream channel
the size of the particles carried by the stream
abrasion of the stream channel
The accompanying table above shows the rate of erosion and the rate of
deposition at four stream locations. A state of dynamic equilibrium exists at
location
A
B
C
D
Which of the cross sections above represents the stream bottom from A to B?

The map above shows a meandering river. Points A and B are locations on the
banks of the river. What are the dominant processes occurring at locations A and
B?
