Gravity, the force that pulls objects toward the center of Earth, can sometimes have a significant impact on the rate of erosion, thereby increasing the rate of deposition. Which feature is most likely impacted by gravity because it can form at the bottom of a steeply sloped river?

    Siltation

    Explanation:

    As you already saw in the question above, gravity can cause soil erosion and cause sediments from eroded soil to accumulate on the bottom of rivers, causing siltation.

    The silting up causes sediments to accumulate at the bottom of the rivers, causing an increase in the riverbed. This causes the river to have an elevated bed and can cause flooding.

    To avoid silting up, it is important that the riverside has vegetation capable of containing these sediments and preventing it from accumulating at the bottom of the rivers.
