Answer to Question 1

Answer: delta or triangular

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Water is a liquid which has little internal friction but experiences friction with its banks. As irregularities of the bed are encountered, turbulence and increased friction occur. This forms many turbulent eddies which mean many different directions in stream velocity and speed over short amounts of time at any place in the stream.
