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.

Anton [14]

Answer:The answer is spinal cord

Explanation:

The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord.

The brain is the most highly specialized organ, and is protected by the skull or cranium, while the spinal cord is made up of soft tissue which runs from the medulla oblongata to the tail region. It is protected by the bones of the vertebral column.

The spinal cord acts as a PATHWAY between spinal nerves and the brain.
