Which location would have a higher stream competence (competence refers to the largest size particles a stream can carry)?



a.
Coastal plain

b.
Mountain

c.
Marsh

d.
Flood plain



Answer :

Due to erosion brought on by the sand and gravel carried by the water acting on the stream banks, mountains have higher stream competence. Stream competence refers to the greatest quantity of sediment a stream can carry.

The heaviest particles that a stream can carry are referred to as stream competency. Stream velocity affects stream competence. The heavier the particle that can be moved, the faster the current. This is a hydrological idea.
