Answer 1

17. usually consists of fine sand, silt, and clay-sized particles

Answer 2

16. increases between its source and mouth
water is added from runoff and other sources while the river moves the water it started with. (This is assuming a gaining stream, a losing stream is a bit more variable. Especially if you're in Karst topological spaces.)
