Answer: A)is greater near the source than near the mouth

Explanation: A stream is a small river; a large creek; a body of moving water confined by banks.

Gradient is an area of ground that tends evenly upward or downward.

A stream gradient can be defined as an area of water that that tends evenly upward or downward of the stream and it is measured by the difference in elevation between two points on a stream divided by the distance between the two points that the water actually flows.

The gradient influences the speed in respect to time of the stream. The steeper the gradient, the higher will be the speed of the of the flow.

Which kind of map uses contour lines to show elevation?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Topographic maps use contour lines to show elevation.

Topographic maps, often called "topo maps,"  feature contour lines to portray the shape and elevation of the land.

Contour lines (lines of equal elevation) that are close together indicate steep terrain, while lines that are far apart indicate flat terrain.

Such maps also usually portray both  natural and artificial features. They show and name natural land formations such as mountains, valleys, plains, lakes, rivers and vegetation. They also identify particular man made features such as roads, boundaries, transmission lines and major buildings.
