Look at the image above. At which location is the greatest amount of sediment
most likely being deposited?
Question 2
2.
Explain why the water depth at point A is greater than the water depth at point
C
Question 3
3.
Describe why the rate of erosion is always more dominant than the rate of
deposition on the outside of a curve.
Question 4
4.
A decrease in the velocity of this stream will most likely cause an increase in
Question 5
5.
At which locations is erosion dominant over deposition?
Question 6
6.
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
Question 7
7.
Why does equlibrium exist at this location?
Question 8
8.
Would you expect the stream to be deeper at Point A or Point B? Explain
Question 9
9.
Which of the cross sections above represents the stream bottom from A to B?
Question 10
10.
Describe any conditions that might cause the rate of erosion in a stream to
increase
Question 11
11.
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?
