A)The aggrading type of river builds up its bed to a certain slope.

C)The pattern of meander is altered by variation in discharge slope and bed forming material
D)all of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the statements provided are correct regarding river dynamics. A) Aggrading rivers build up their beds to achieve a certain slope, accommodating sediment load and flow. B) Degrading rivers lose material from their beds, leading to a decrease in elevation or depth over time. C) The pattern of meandering rivers can indeed be altered by variations in discharge, slope, and the material composing the riverbed, as these factors influence erosion, sediment deposition, and flow dynamics.
