← GeographyWhich effect results when a long Southern Hemisphere river flows toward the equator?
A)Increased erosion on the eastern bank✓
B)Narrower river channel over time
C)Reduced sediment deposition at delta
D)Decreased velocity on the western bank
💡 Explanation
Increased erosion occurs on the eastern bank because the Coriolis effect deflects moving objects to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in greater force, therefore eastward, rather than symmetric erosion since the continents do constrain flow.
