Question
the process of deposition would make a river change in which way?
○ straighter
○ more curves
○ dirtier water
○ wider
Deposition in a river involves the laying down of sediment. Over time, deposition tends to fill in curves (meanders) and make the river channel straighter as sediment accumulates in bends, reducing the curvature. "Dirtier water" is not a change to the river's shape, "more curves" is opposite of what deposition does, and "wider" isn't the primary shape change from deposition (erosion or flooding is more linked to widening). So the process of deposition makes the river straighter.
