When a stream or river starts to slow down, it:

• Picks up more sediment

• Erodes more rapidly

• Deposits fine sediments, but continues carrying larger rocks

• Deposits larger rocks, but continues carrying finer sediment

The steeper the slope, the ________ the stream.

• Slower

• Broader

• Faster

• Curvier

Why are too many nutrients (like nitrates and phosphates) bad for our waters?

• Nutrients decrease the pH of the water, causing it to become increasingly acidic

• Nutrients change the salinity of the water

• Wetlands filter out runoff that may contain nutrients

• Nutrients in the water cause too much algae growth

Warm ocean currents cause the climate of the land near it to be

• Warmer but drier

• Warmer and more moist

• Cooler and drier

• Cooler and more moist

Water has a high specific heat capacity (it warms up and cools down slowly). Therefore, it has this impact on climate:

• It makes the climate more extreme

• It makes the climate hotter

• It makes the climate colder

• It helps the climate be less extreme
