Question

A river widens, slows, and becomes shallow at the location pictured below.

How are the landforms pictured above being changed?
A. Sediment from downriver is being eroded by the slow, shallow waters.
B. Physical weathering is building up the landforms bordering the river.
C. Chemical weathering is building up the landforms bordering the river.
D. Sediment from upriver is being deposited by the slow, shallow waters.

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A is wrong because sediment is what has been eroded, not what gets eroded. B is wrong because more physical weathering would occur in faster waters. C is wrong because water, for the most part, has no chemical reaction with it's surroundings when it's found in a river. Also, with the slow and shallowness, the sediment had more time to settle at the bottom and is more likely to do so
