Question

Most rivers curve or meander. Water travels more slowly on the outside of the curve and more quickly on the inside of the curve. Which statement is true?

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A, Most rivers curve or meander

Reason:

The water at the outer edge of the river are at high elevation as compared to inner edge and thus the pressure at outer edge is high as compared to the inner edge. Due to this pressure difference the secondary flow is generated which causes the slope material transportation from outside to the inner side of the river.

Answer 2

Most rivers curve on meander.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the meandering of river, water flow at outer edge is at higher elevation that inner age water force applied by water at outer edge is higher that inner edge.Because of this force (pressure) difference a secondary flow is generated and river erode outer bank and deposit the material at inner side of the bank.
