Detailed explanation-1: -What change will a pebble usually undergo when it is transported a great distance by streams? It will become jagged and its mass will decrease.
Detailed explanation-2: -As sediment is transported down stream, the water flow helps to shape the planet’s surface by carrying away the eroded material away from some regions and depositing it in others 19.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sediment moves from one place to another through the process of erosion. Erosion is the removal and transportation of rock or soil. Erosion can move sediment through water, ice, or wind. Water can wash sediment, such as gravel or pebbles, down from a creek, into a river, and eventually to that river’s delta.
Detailed explanation-4: -17. The diagrams show two views of the same river flowing from a lake to an ocean bay. What change will occur if the volume (discharge) of Turtle River increases? a) Downcutting will decrease and riverbank erosion will increase.
Detailed explanation-5: -Fast-moving or large streams can carry more sediment than slow-moving or small streams. Abrasion occurs as sediment in a stream collides with rock in and along the stream. Pieces of rock are chipped away and rough edges in rocks and sediments themselves become rounded.
