What is turbidity a measure of?

• Photosynthesis in water.
• Change in biological activity.
• Cloudiness of water.

Turbidity measurements were taken at different distances from the shore of a lake.

Which best explains why the turbidity increases as water samples are taken closer to the shore?

• Shoreline erosion causes sediment to wash into the lake.

• Sediment is carried from the middle of the lake to the shore by wind.

• Swimmers stir up sediment by splashing in the water near the shore.

• Fish stir up sediment while feeding on plants that grow close to the shore.
