Question

according to the diagram, at which point does the greatest stream erosion and greatest stream deposition occur? a = erosion; c = deposition b = erosion; c = deposition a = erosion; b = deposition

Explanation:

In a meandering stream, erosion occurs on the outside of bends (cut - banks) due to faster water flow, and deposition occurs on the inside of bends (point - bars) due to slower water flow. Point B is on the outside of a bend where erosion is greatest, and point C is on the inside of a bend where deposition is greatest.

Answer:

B. B = erosion; C = deposition
