Water Velocity and Sediment Deposition

Match it! Select the correct answer from the pull down...Good luck!

The deposition most likely occurred as a result of 8

Two streams, A and B, carry the same volume of water, but stream A has a greater velocity. The most likely cause of this greater velocity would be that stream A

It could be inferred from the above data that the stream's velocity

Which graph best represents the relationship between the slope of a river and the particle size that can be transported by that river?

The largest sediment particles that can be transported by a stream traveling at a velocity of 200 centimeters per second are

What is the minimum water velocity needed in a stream to maintain the transportation of the smallest boulder?

A stream flowing at a velocity of 250 centimeters per second is transporting sediment particles ranging n size from clay to cobbles. Which transported particles will be deposited by the stream if its velocity decreases to 100 centimeters per second?

As the velocity of a stream decreases, the amount of sediment in the water of the stream
