The map below shows a meandering stream. Points A, B, C and D represent locations along the stream bottom.

At which location is the greatest amount of sediment most likely being deposited?
1)A
2)B
3)C
4)D

C

Explanation:

At point C, maximum sediment will be deposited because of several reasons. At first, A, B, and D are directly along the flow path therefore erosion rate would be high on these points. However, C is not located on the path of stream rather it is on the lower end. Therefore, water will erode material from distant (front end) end, and deposit sediment on lower end. Secondly, C is located downstream and therefore have high chance of load deposit compared to the upstream points.

3)C

Explanation:

Point C on this meandering stream will have the largest amount of sediment most likely deposited.

Along a meandering stream, there are cut banks and point bars.

earthquakes in florida are rare because the state is not located near any tectonic plates. in fact, florida is tied for first place as having the fewest earthquakes of any state. much of florida is limestone and seafloor materials that is not conducive to earthquakes.

explanation:

emerging idea only occurs as a raw idea that could appear out of nowhere. meanwhile, to reach scientific consensus , that idea must be structured and tested over and over again through various experiments. the scientific consensus transforms the raw idea into idea that is more reliable through the process of scientific elimination.
