Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As a stream flows away from its headwaters, the water velocity decreases and the stream channel widens, resulting in a more laminar flow. The water is also affected by more obstacles downstream, such as rocks and other debris, which can cause some turbulence but the overall flow becomes more laminar. Therefore, choice D, "laminar," is the best choice.
