The Atlantic and Pacific ‘meet’ at the southernmost tip of South America, known as Cape Horn. In this region, a strong current carries water from west to east, sweeping water from the Pacific into the Atlantic. Travelling around Cape Horn is a turbulent, dangerous journey to make by ship and has claimed many lives. Prior to the building of the Panama Canal, it was the sole route by sea between the Pacific and Atlantic.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
a) decreases and larger sediments are deposited first
Explanation:
As the Niagara River enters the Lake Ontario, it is coming up to a large body of water that is stopping its flow as it enters in it. This results in a loss of velocity. Because the river losses its velocity, it is no longer able to carry the sediments with it, thus it starts to deposit them. The largest sediments are deposited first as they weigh the most, so the river needs greater velocity to transport them. As the velocity is becoming smaller and smaller, the medium sized sediments come next for deposition, and in the end are the smallest sediments that are deposited when the river totally losses its velocity.
