Question

Bedrock and sediment in a stream is most susceptible to erosion if it is:

Answer 1

Bedrock and sediment in a stream are most susceptible to erosion if it is located in a turbulent part of the river. 

Constant and fast movement of the water causes the sediments to be displaced and erosion occurs. 

Answer 2

ANSWER:

Bedrock and sediment is most susceptible to erosion if it is located in the turbulent part of the stream or the river.

EXPLANATION:

• The turbulent part of the river is the one where the water velocity is high. This high water velocity carries away bedrock and sediment easily.

• The edge where the bedrock and sediment is located tends to be very steep. This steepness makes it easy for the high velocity of water to carry away the bedrock and sediment.

• This bedrock and sediment is also carried to greater distances because of the great speed of water.
