Which of the following would occur as water continues to flow over the sediments on the surface in this stream table?


a) The larger sediments are deposited first and the smaller sediments are eroded more and deposited later.
b) The smaller sediments are deposited first and the larger sediments are eroded more and deposited later.
c) The larger sediments are deposited last and the smaller sediments are eroded less and deposited later.
d) The smaller sediments are deposited last and the larger sediments are eroded more and deposited later.

Which of the following best explains the process these students are modeling that changes surface features in the environment?


a) Erosion caused by water moves sediments downstream
b) Weathering caused by water moves sediments downstream
