What is the process behind the formation of natural levees along a river?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Deposition of relatively heavier sediments near river banks during floods

During a flood, river water spreads beyond its banks and loses velocity. Relatively heavier sand and silt are deposited first near the banks, while finer particles are carried farther onto the floodplain. Repeated floods build raised natural levees along the channel. Sea-wave erosion is a coastal process, and wind deposition forms dunes in dry regions. Exam tip: remember that natural levees are depositional landforms found beside a river on its floodplain.
