Answer: it is broken into giant plates

The upper part of the asthenosphere is believed to be the zone upon which the great rigid and brittle lithospheric plates of the Earth's crust move about. Above the asthenosphere, at the same rate of deformation, rock behaves elastically and, being brittle, can break, causing faults.

What happens after a stream's discharge increases? Stream velocity, channel width, and depth all decrease. Stream velocity and c

Elena L [17]

The correct answer is - Stream velocity, channel width, and depth all increase.

When a stream is faced with a sudden increase of water, than the stream is starting to increase in velocity. The velocity is becoming bigger in the lower part of the stream. As the velocity increases, it is followed by an increase in width of the stream because it starts to flood the surrounding area, and because of the much bigger amount of water it also experiences increase in depth.
