Which would move further in a stream over one year a small rock or a medium sized boulder why?

This answer depends on either side. The small rock does have an advanage of moving faster due to less gravity pushing on it. The medium boulder on the other hand has a bigger mass and weight making gravity push on it more. So basicly I think that the small rock will go faster/further than the boulder due to it's little weight. However, anything can happen to these two rocks. The small one may get stuck on cracks and holes on the ground and stop it and the boulder may get smaller during the process due to weathering and erosion, but the small wil definitely go further
