Question

figures e&f show the same stream at different times. in which diagram is the stream...

1. carrying more water?
2. carrying less water?
3. moving faster?
4. moving slower?
5. carrying more sediment?
6. carrying less sediment?
7. eroding more?
8. eroding less?

conclusions:

1. during heavy rain, a stream carries (more/less) water.
2. during heavy rain, a stream moves (faster/slower).
3. during heavy rain, a stream carries (more/less) sediment.
4. during heavy rain, a stream carries (more/less) sediment
5. during heavy rain, the water level of a stream (rises/falls)

Explanation:

1. In Figure F, it is raining, so the stream has more water.
2. Figure E shows a sunny day, so the stream has less water.
3. More water (as in F) usually means faster - moving water due to increased volume and force.
4. Less water (as in E) typically results in slower - moving water.
5. Faster - moving water (F) can carry more sediment.
6. Slower - moving water (E) carries less sediment.
7. Faster - moving water (F) has more erosive power.
8. Slower - moving water (E) has less erosive power.

For the conclusions:

1. During heavy rain (like in F), a stream carries more water.
2. More water (during heavy rain) makes the stream move faster.
3. Faster - moving water (during heavy rain) carries more sediment.
4. (Same as 3, likely a duplicate in the original problem setup).
5. During heavy rain, more water causes the water level to rise.

Answer:

1. F
2. E
3. F
4. E
5. F
6. E
7. F
8. E

Conclusions:

1. more
2. faster
3. more
4. more
5. rises
