What makes a river meander?

• weathering caused by increased water flow

• Deposition and erosion of sediment

• the sizes of sediments are reduced and the smaller sediment sizes cause the river to meander

• none of the above

Rivers carry their sediment until reaching the ocean. The faster moving water of the river meets the ocean water and slows down. The slowing down of the river water creates what land feature?

• wind forms a delta because there are no trees to stop the wind and wave action is greatest at the mouth of a river

• the overpopulation of coral reef in the shallow waters has caused a tremendous stockpile of sediment at the mouth of rivers as they empty into the ocean

• none of the these

• A delta forms from the deposition of sediment from the river

• all of these

Where does deposition mostly occur?

• Upper Course

• Middle Course

• Lower Course

Where does erosion mostly occur?

• Upper Course

• Middle Course

• Lower Course
