as a river meanders, it erodes the ______ and deposits sediment on the _____.
o cut bank; point bar
o point bar; cut bank
o levee; thalweg
o thalweg; levee

Explanation:

When a river meanders, the water flows faster on the outer curve (cut bank), causing erosion. On the inner curve (point bar), the water slows down, leading to sediment deposition. Levees are raised banks formed by sediment deposition during floods, and thalweg is the deepest part of a river channel. These terms do not fit the context of erosion and deposition in meandering.

Answer:

cut bank; point bar
