The graph in part A shows how slow-moving water cannot carry large pieces of sediment. As water slows down on the inside of a curve, some of the larger pieces of sediment will settle out of the water. What effect will the settling of sediment have on the shape of the stream?

Respuesta :

The river will deposit sediment along the inside of a bend in the river. This deposition causes the inside of the curve to become shallower and move farther inward.

What are Meandering Rivers ?

Rivers flowing over gently sloping ground begin to curve back and forth across the landscape. These are called meandering rivers.

Meandering rivers erode sediment Larry from the outer curve of each meander bend and deposit it on an inner curve further down stream.

This causes individual meanders to grow larger and larger over time.

Meandering river channels are asymmetrical. The deepest part of the channel is on the outside of each bend. The water flows faster in these deeper sections and erodes material from the river bank.

The water flows more slowly in the shallow areas near the inside of each bend. The slower water can't carry as much sediment and deposits its load on a series of point bars.

Thus  the settling of sediment will make the stream steeper.
