PROBLEM: Question: When it is very warm what happens to the speed of items? 
 Option1: speed up

PROBLEM: Question: If the rate of flow in a river were reduced, what would happen to the size of sediment particles being deposited on the riverbed? 
 Option1: smaller particles would be deposited 
 Option2: larger particles would be deposited 
 Explanation: The size of the eroded particles depends on the velocity of the water. Eventually, the water deposits the materials. As water slows, larger particles are deposited. As the water slows even more, smaller particles are deposited.

SOLUTION: smaller particles would be deposited

PROBLEM: Question: If Jim is performing chemical reactions in his lab and he wanted to decrease the strength of his reaction, what would he do to the surface area? 
 Option1: increase it 
 Option2: decrease it 
 Explanation: Surface Area of Reactants When a solid substance is involved in a chemical reaction, only the matter at the surface of the solid is exposed to other reactants. If a solid has more surface area, more of it is exposed and able to react.

SOLUTION:
decrease it
