Which of the following statements concerning river systems or their behavior is FALSE?
0 The banks of a river can be higher than the surrounding land if past ?oods deposited sediment close to the river to form natural levees.
0 At any river bend, water moves more slowly along the inner back than along the outer bank, so it will deposit sediment to form point bars.
0 As a river enters a standing body of water like a lake or the sea, its ?ow will slow, and the river will deposit sediment to form a delta.
0 As ?oodwaters break out of a channel, their velocity will decrease as the water spreads over a broader area, so sediment is deposited.
0 Rivers have a natural equilibrium, so it takes very large changes in velocity or slope to signi?cantly change how much sediment they carry.
