When each trial was completed, the water was turned off and one student placed a sheet of clear plastic acetate over the bottom half of the stream table. For each rate of flow trial, the student drew the outline of the delta that formed. What prediction might you make
about the delta formations? ALL BUT ONE prediction could be true,
A)
The greater the rate of flow, the more sediment carried into the delta
B)
C)
The greater the velocity the greater the carrying capacity of the stream
A slow moving stream would produce a smaller delta than a faster moving
stream
The amount of sediment in the delta is related to how fast the moving
water stops
D)
