Directions: Answer all questions on this page. Use the Velocity vs. Transported Particle Size graph on page 6 of your ESRT. Use correct units when necessary
1) Name the particles (sediments) that will be carried by water at the
following velocities:
a-500cm/sec:
b-100cm/sec:
c-200 cm/sec:
d-50 cm/sec:
2) Name the particle(s) that will be deposited if a stream moving at 700
cm/sec suddenly decreases in velocity to 225 cm/sec?
3) state the water velocity necessary to maintain the transport of the following sized particles.
0.1cm particle diameter:
25.6cm particle diameter:
0.001cm particle diameter:
10cm particle diameter:
4) as soon as water velocity decreases even slightly, what occurs?
5) name the particle(s) that cannot be transported by a stream moving at 150cm/sec
6) state the range of particle sizes for a"cobble"
7) at approximately what speed will the stream no longer be able to transport pebbles?
