Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fast moving, turbulent streams have a high capacity to carry large sediment particles and a large volume of sediment due to the kinetic energy of the water. This allows them to erode and transport large quantities of sediment downstream. Meandering and flooding typically occur in lower-energy streams. Fine silts and muds may be transported by fast-moving streams but they are also capable of transporting larger sediment particles. U-shaped valleys are typically formed by glaciers or other erosive forces.
