Question

Water drains very slowly from the nearly level ground in the Gulf Prairies and Marshes ecoregion of Texas. How does the slow movement of water impact the ecoregion?

A. Sediment carried in the water causes significant physical weathering.

B. The water increases the amount of sediment eroded by wind.

C. Sediment carried in the slowly moving water is deposited.

D. The slowly moving water erodes sediment.

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is;

C. Sediment carried in the slowly moving water is deposited.

Explanation:

Here we note that the drainage rate of the water is slow and the plane of the drainage is given as level ground.

Therefore, there would less mass transport of sedimentary materials from the region and the level planes with slow drainage would favor the deposition of sediments along the level plane

From the above, the correct option is C.
