Question

Rhianna has a stream flowing through her farm. The sediment flowing in the stream is usually fine sand. After a storm, the sediment is a mixture of fine sand, coarse sand, and pebbles. What would Rhianna most likely observe?a. no erosion after a stormb. no erosion before a stormc. a lower rate of erosion after a stormd. a higher rate of erosion after a storm

Answer 1

a higher rate of erosion after a storm

Step-by-step explanation:

The mixture of fine sand, coarse sand and pebbles, shows that during storms, it had the ability to move when parts of the soil composition in that region, which causes a high rate of soil loss. This means that the region suffered a much higher level of erosion after the storm. This level of erosion may have been aggravated by the slope of the land and the lack of vegetation that could hold the soil aggregates, preventing the storm water from pushing them away.
