Question

In a river, sediment is deposited _____.

by oxbows
on the outside bends
on the inside bends
by fast moving water

Answer 1

In a river, sediment is deposited **on the inside bends**. This occurs because the water flow is slower on the inside of the bend, allowing sediment to settle. In contrast, faster-moving water on the outside bends tends to erode material rather than deposit it.
