Source Steeper gradient Shallower gradient Mouth Base level Sediment becomes finer through breakup during transport and by sorting if velocity decreases When flow stops, remaining material is dropped This figure shows the longitudinal profile of a stream. Which of the following statements is most correct. The gradient decreases from the mouth to the source. The steeper gradient section of the stream is close to the mouth of the stream. The shallower gradient sections of the stream can transport large size sediment. The steeper gradient sections of the stream can transport large size sediment.
