Question

at which points along the stream are erosion and deposition dominant? 1. erosion is dominant at a and d, and deposition is dominant at b and c. 2. erosion is dominant at b and c, and deposition is dominant at a and d. 3. erosion is dominant at a and c, and deposition is dominant at b and d. 4. erosion is dominant at b and d, and deposition is dominant at a and c. submit retry answer

Explanation:

In a meandering stream, erosion occurs on the outside of bends (cut - banks) and deposition on the inside of bends (point - bars). Points A and C are on the outside of bends where water flow is faster and erosion is dominant. Points B and D are on the inside of bends where water flow is slower and deposition is dominant.

Answer:

1. Erosion is dominant at A and C, and deposition is dominant at B and D.
