I found the following multiple choice question on a contest science test:
     As a river curves, the outside of the curve is:
A. eroded by the water.
B. built up as the river deposits its sediment
C. neither eroded nor built up
D. the slowest part of the river
I have an answer key, but I would like a more detailed explanation than A,B,C, or D!
