Select all of the changes observed as a stream flows downstream: The size of the particles that make up the bed load decreases because the stream velocity decreases The size of the particles that make up the bed load decreases because the larger particles are left in the bed load at higher elevations More water is added to the stream from tributaries The width and depth of the stream channel increase because discharge increases Stream velocity increases allowing the stream to carry larger particles

particles are left in the bed load at higher elevations
More water is added to the stream from tributaries
The width and depth of the stream channel increase because discharge increases
Stream velocity increases allowing the stream to carry larger particles
