Which of the following is unlikely to cause deposition of sediment along a stream?
A)A decrease in gradient
B)A decrease in water velocity
C)A drop in sea level
D)None of these are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A decrease in gradient and water velocity both result in decreased energy in the stream, which makes it easier for sediment to be deposited. However, a drop in sea level is unlikely to cause deposition along a stream, as it does not directly affect the stream's energy or velocity.
