The velocity of the water in a stream is directly proportional to the ​ (a)   of a stream channel. As the slope of a stream increases, the ​ (b)   of the stream increases.

The fastest water flowing in a stream with a straight course is in the ​ (c)   just below the surface where ​ (d)   is the least

Why is the fastest water flowing in a stream in the center just below the surface?

• More friction

• Less friction

• More gravity

• Less gravity

What happens to the velocity of the stream as the slope increases?

• Increases

• Decreases

• Stays the same

What is the volume of water in the stream at any given location during a specific amount of time.

( Like this picture, water is being pumped out of a lake )

• slope

• discharge

• velocity

In a meandering stream, the fastest water is on the ​ (a)   of the curve or meander, ​ (b)   is greatest on the outside of the meanders. ​ (c)   takes place in the slower water on the ​ (d)   of the meanders.

Between the meanders is a "​ (e)   " between erosion and deposition.

• outside
• erosion
• Deposition
• inside
• change over
