Answer:

D. Lowering of the sea level.

Explanation:

Stream incision is a cause and consequence of the increase in the river load carrying capacity and also its former floodplain if uplifted by the presence of mountain ranges and more discharge rates.

As the streams channel drops the water in surrounding aquifers runs into the streams, thus lowering the water table a this modifies the flow pattern of the stream, and leads to large reductions of summer flows.

The incision is thus a play of the river with its tools and speed of the river and the amount of discharge governs the flow patterns hense, this impacts the river way of cutting.

1. Some agents of transport can move sediment that ranges widely in grain size. Match the letter of the transport agent from the

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Ocean Waves or Desert Winds - boulders
Quiet Water - Mud
Fast Moving Stream - Sand
Glacial Ice - House sized block
Very slow moving stream - silt
Tubulent Stream during a flood - Cobble

Explanation:

Glacial ice can transport rocks as big as a house. It has very high transport competence and moves very slowly across a very large distance.
The maximum size of particles that a stream can transport is defined as stream competence. This is a concept under hydrology. Streams depending on its velocity can carry sand, mud, silt and cobble along with the dissolved and suspended load.
The process by which Ocean waves transport sediments, large pebbles and boulders is referred to as Coastal Transportation. During Coastal transportation, large pebbles and boulders are rolled along the seabottom, while beach material is bounced along the seabed.
