b. Materials in your watershed are eventually transported to an ocean.

How does the quality of your watershed impact the health of the ocean? Eventually all streams empty into larger rivers that find their way to the oceans. If pollution is a problem in your local watershed it will eventually impact the ocean.

Answer:

b. Materials in your watershed are eventually transported to an ocean

Step-by-step explanation:

.A watershed is called to be as that area in which surface runoff enters into a river or river system. Rivers flow from high elevation to low elevation and the lower elevation point in most case is sea. During this flow of river, it also transport the deposit materials in the sea.
