The erosion rate of river valleys is faster than the rate of ________.
A) landslide movement
B) stream flow
C) sediment accumulation in the deep sea
D) ground breaking during an earthquake

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sediment accumulation in the deep sea occurs very slowly, so the erosion rate of river valleys is faster than the rate of sediment accumulation in the deep sea. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they are not necessarily slower than the erosion rate of river valleys. Landslide movement can occur quickly, stream flow can be strong and fast, and ground breaking during an earthquake can happen rapidly.
