Base your answers on the diagram and data table below. The diagram shows the equipment used to determine the factors affecting the rate of erosion in a stream. The data table shows the time it took a 10-gram sample of quartz sand to move 100 centimeters down the rain gutter under various conditions. What is the relationship between the water velocity and the rate of erosion? (1 point) Responses If the water velocity remains constant, the rate of erosion increases. If the water velocity remains constant, the rate of erosion increases. If the water velocity remains constant, the rate of erosion decreases. If the water velocity remains constant, the rate of erosion decreases. If the water velocity decreases, the rate of erosion increases If the water velocity decreases, the rate of erosion increases If the water velocity increases, the rate of erosion increases. If the water velocity increases, the rate of erosion increases. Question 2 In this experiment, the water velocity could be increased by(1 point) Responses lowering the flexible hose lowering the flexible hose widening the rain gutter widening the rain gutter decreasing the slope of the rain gutter decreasing the slope of the rain gutter increasing the amount of water from the faucet increasing the amount of water from the faucet Skip to navigation page 2 of 2
The correct answers are:
1) If the water velocity increases, the rate of erosion increases.
2) The water velocity could be increased by increasing the amount of water from the faucet.
