Natural raised banks along a river are formed by which process?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: River deposition
The governing concept is flood deposition and natural levee formation. During a flood, water spills over the channel banks and rapidly loses velocity; heavier sand and coarse silt settle immediately beside the channel, gradually building raised natural levees. Therefore, option D is correct. Glacial erosion, wind abrasion and wave erosion are actions of different agents and do not form these river-bank ridges.
