Lab: Modeling Water Erosion

Question 1 • WCA 4130 Earth and Space Science 1st Quarter 26-27

How did changing from a light drizzle to a downpour affect the river and the sediment in it? Check all that apply.The river increased its slope.The volume of the river decreased.The velocity of the river increased.There was more erosion in the stream.The type of sediment that moved changed.

Answer
A
The river increased its slope.
B
The volume of the river decreased.
C
The velocity of the river increased.
D
There was more erosion in the stream.
E
The type of sediment that moved changed.

Explanation

A downpour adds more water to the river, increasing its volume and usually its velocity. Faster, larger flow can erode more of the streambed and carry larger or different sediment than a light drizzle. The river’s slope does not change just because rainfall increases, and its volume does not decrease.
