Answer: It is called upwelling

Explanation:

Normally, strong trade winds blow westward across the tropical Pacific, the region of the Pacific Ocean located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. These winds push warm surface water towards the western Pacific, where it borders Asia and Australia.  

 

Due to the warm trade winds, the sea surface is normally about .5 meter (1.5 feet) higher and 45° F warmer in Indonesia than Ecuador. The westward movement of warmer waters causes cooler waters to rise up towards the surface on the coasts of Ecuador, Peru, and Chile. This process is known as upwelling.

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.
