just cause its right and i took the test

Answer 2

False

Step-by-step explanation:

It is absolutely false that as the river's slope increases the power of the river to cause erosion usually decreases.

The right statement is vice versa because as the slope of the river increases, the ability of the river to cause erosion increases.

• The slope of a river is its gradient.
• As the slope of a river increases so also is its erosive power.
• The erosive power of a river depends on gravity.
• As the river becomes more vertical, then the gravity effect increases.
• This increases the power the river has for erosion.
