Base your answers to questions 76 through 78 on the map and the stream data table below. The map represents a stream flowing into a lake. An arrow shows the direction of streamflow. Points A and B are locations at the edge of the stream. Line AB is a reference line across the stream surface. Line CD is a reference line along the lake bottom from the mouth of the stream into the lake. The data table gives the depth of the water and distance from point A, in feet, along line AB. (((
(((76. On the grid in your answer booklet, construct a profile of the depth of water below line AB, following the directions below. • Mark an appropriate numerical scale showing equal intervals on the axis labeled “Depth of Water.” The zero (0) on the depth of water axis represents the stream surface. [1] • Using the data table, plot with an X the depth of water at each distance from point A to point B. Connect the Xs with a smooth, curved line. Points A and B have already been plotted. [1] 77 Using the map and the data table, explain why the depth of water 20 feet from point A is different from the depth of water 20 feet from point B. [1] 78 The sediments being carried by the stream include clay, pebbles, sand, and silt. List these sediments in the most likely order of deposition from point C to point D. [1](((
