As the river flows, sediment is being eroded and deposited. Where is sediment most likely to be deposited?

Erosion can move sediment through water, ice, or wind. Water can wash sediment, such as gravel or pebbles, down from a creek, into a river, and eventually to that river's delta. Deltas, river banks, and the bottom of waterfalls are common areas where sediment accumulates

Answer:

The sediment is most likely to be deposited at the end of the river or build up near a delta.

Step-by-step explanation:

River water carries sediment to the ends of rivers, riverbanks, or into the ocean if that is the end.
