Answer;

Competence

Competence is the measurement of the largest particles a stream can carry (increases with velocity).

Explanation;

A stream is defined as all channelized movement of water, including large movements of water in rivers, such as the Yangtze River and the Mississippi River

Stream competence is the size of sedimentary particle that can be carried, moved, transported in a channelized stream of water. Each stream has a competency for what size of sedimentary particle it can move by its force (volume and velocity). This competency may change as stream volume and flow of velocity change due to seasonal flooding and other factors of topography.

The difference between stream capacity and stream competence is that capacity measures quantity of sediment while competence measures size of particles comprising sediment.

What is a possible effect of of leakage of inner ear fluid
allochka39001 [22]

The anatomy of the inner ear is dominated by large fluid-filled spaces. The inner ear consists of a complex series of tubes, running through the temporal bone of the skull. The bony tubes (sometimes called the bony labyrinth) are filled with a fluid called perilymph. Within this bony labyrinth is a second series of tubes made out of delicate cellular structures (called the membranous labyrinth). The fluid inside these membranous structures is called endolymph, The different spaces of both the perilymphatic and endolymphatic compartments are interconnected by a series of ducts.

Allisa [31]

The right answer is B. back pain from the compressed nerves

Narrow cervical canal symptoms can range widely from no symptoms to gait and balance disorders to radiculaglia when there is foraminal narrowing associated with central narrowing. Discrete balance disorders may be early signs of myelopathy (posterior cords). Later, the patients suffer from proximal weakness and paresthesia of the four limbs, as well as disorders of the fine motor skills of the hands (do not manage to close buttons of shirt, difficulties with the writing, etc., on reaching the lower motor neuron). In more advanced stages, gait disturbances and even later sphincter control disorders may occur (upper motor neuron involvement).
