What is true about the sand dunes?
Sand Dune B will have more erosion because of all the plants and vegetation on it.
Sand Dune A will have less erosion because of the lack of plants and vegetation.

Students design an experiment to study stream erosion. See image. Explain what would happen with the erosion and depositions of the sand and gravel and the shape of the stream if they
Increased the slope of the stream table
More Erosion, due to the stream traveling faster
Less Erosion, due to the stream traveling faster
More Erosion, due to the stream traveling slower
Less Erosion, due to the stream traveling slower
Students design an experiment to study stream erosion. See image. Explain what would happen with the erosion and depositions of the sand and gravel and the shape of the stream if the amount of water flow is reduced.
More Erosion, due to the stream discharge decreasing
Less Erosion, due to the stream discharge increasing
More Deposition, due to the stream discharge decreasing
Less Deposition, due to the stream discharge decreasing
