Lateral erosion increases more in which river stage?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Mature stage
Lateral erosion is the wearing away of a river’s banks rather than mainly its bed. It becomes especially important in the mature stage, when the slope is gentler, the channel is wider, and bends or meanders are well developed. Faster flow along the outer bank of a bend cuts into that bank, while slower flow on the inner bank encourages deposition. Thus option B is correct; the other choices are not normal river stages for this process.
