Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sediment is most likely to be deposited on the inner banks of the meander due to the slower flow of water and reduced erosion compared to the faster flow of water and increased erosion on the outer banks of the meander. This deposition can result in the gradual migration of the meander to the outer side over time. Sediment is not deposited uniformly to either side of the meander.
