What is the relationship between the water velocity and the rate of erosion?A) if the velocity water remains constant, the rate of erosion decreases B) if the water velocity increase, the rate of erosion increase C) if the water velocity remains constant, the erosion increase D) if the water velocity decrease, the erosion increaseIn this experiment, the water velocity could be increased by A) widening the rain gutter B) increasing the amount of water from the faucet C) lower the flexible hoseD) decrease the slope of the rain gutter Base your answers on the diagram and data table below. The diagram shows the equipment used to determine thefactors affecting the rate of erosion in a stream. The data table shows the time it took a 10-gram sample of quartz sandto move 100 centimeters down the rain gutter under various conditions.BucketSinkWater faucetRain gutterTextbooksFlexible hoseRain GutterSlope5°10°20°Data TableWaterVelocityslowfastslowfastslowfastErosion Time (s)Fine Sand Coarse Sand20151510105604040303015
