When a stream flows over rapids, which outcome results when increased water speed intensifies existing turbulent flow?

A)Increased sediment entrainment downstream
B)Decrement of boundary layer separation
C)Laminar sublayer becomes more stable
D)Momentum diffusion becomes less frequent

💡 Explanation

Intensified turbulence increases sediment entrainment downstream because the turbulent kinetic energy increases which causes greater shear stress. Larger shear stress leads to particles being picked up; therefore promoting sediment transport rather than impeding it
