    Ans: (B) At location X, the stream speed is 100cm/s, sufficient to move clay, silt and pebbles. At 100cm/s cobbles and boulders wouldn't move because the stream speed should be greater than 200 cm/s in order to move cobbles and boulders (values are given in the lower diagram)

    At location X the velocity is given as 100cm/sec . The below graph showing at 100 cm/sec velocity the water can move particle size above sand and in between cobble. and pebble and it's not crossing cobble line so it can't move the cobble size particles at this VELOCITY but can move sand ,silt ,clay ,and pebbles. And other conditions does not satisfy so the answer will be at location X. Reference diagram below

    what are the necessary conditions for moving cobbles or boulders?

    eduncle-logo-app

    from the graph the velocity must be higher than 200cm/sec.

    Greater than 200 cm/sec indicates the fluvial channel environment from the above figure.
