Which is most likely to increased the erosion that occurs on the banks of a river?
rivers carrying sediment that erodes land
heavy rains on the mountain that is the river's source
at the river's mouth where the river meets the ocean
When the rock or soil of Earth's surface is moved to another location by water, ice, or wind
all of the above
The living components of an ecosystem, such as plants and animals
wind blown sand and rain
When sediment created by weathering and moved by erosion settles in a different location due to gravity
