@SaygeK   can you help me in this one please

A. it has more energy, as the speed of the water increases due to the decline in elevation, erosion increases, because the force of the water when it contacts the rock structure adjacent to it, it adds stress to the jagged sections of rock it is in contact to. similar to a rock climbers hands and feet, but the waters force is stronger and more constant, the speed of erosion can also increase by the other materials in the water, like sediment, and minerals like salt and zinc.
