Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As stream discharge increases, the velocity of the water increases due to the increased force of the water pushing downstream. This increased velocity causes the width and depth of the stream to also increase to accommodate the greater volume of water moving downstream. Therefore, choice A is the correct choice.
