Question

the water flowing in a river moves at different speeds. the picture shows what happens to a river over time. where does the river deposit the most sediment? a. where the river is straightest b. where the water moves the most slowly c. where the water is deepest d. where the water moves the most quickly

Explanation:

Sediment deposition occurs when water - carrying sediment loses energy. Slower - moving water has less energy to carry sediment, so it deposits the sediment. Faster - moving water can carry more sediment. Depth and straightness of the river are not the main factors determining sediment deposition compared to water speed.

Answer:

B. Where the water moves the most slowly
