Question
Base your answers to questions 48 through 50 on the photograph below and on your knowledge of Earth science. The photograph shows a meandering stream in a wooded area. Points A and B represent locations on the streambanks. Letter X represents a flat area near the stream. 48 The streambank at location B is steeper than the streambank at location A because the water near location B is moving (1) slower than the water near location A, causing more erosion (2) slower than the water near location A, causing more deposition (3) faster than the water near location A, causing more erosion (4) faster than the water near location A, causing more deposition 49 The area labeled letter X represents a portion of a (1) delta (2) sand dune (3) finger lake (4) floodplain 50 Most of the particles deposited where the stream velocity decreases from 50 centimeters per second to 5 centimeters per second are (1) small cobbles and large pebbles (2) small pebbles and large sand (3) small sand and large silt (4) small silt and large clay
