Is flow velocity usually greater at the head or at the mouth of a stream? Explain.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

In what three ways does a stream transport its load? Which part of the load moves most slowly?

Answer to Question 1

In order to accommodate the growing discharge, channel size increases downstream. With an increased channel size and discharge, there is also an increased flow velocity. Thus, flow velocity tends to be greater at the mouth of a stream.

Answer to Question 2

As dissolved load within the water, as suspended load held in the water column, and as bed load along the streambed. Bed load moves only intermittently, bouncing along the base of the stream, so it moves the slowest.
