Sediment is actually depositeded the fastest by slowly moving water - so the option "by fast moving water" is false - the opposite is true!

Water is also slower inside of bends - so sediment is also deposited fastest there. The best answer is "on the inside bends"

In a river, sediment is deposited on the inside bends .

When water flows inside a water body such as lake, its velocity is reduced and its ability to transport sediments also reduces. Sediments that are transported to the lake are deposited inside of bends where the slow flowing water cannot move them further. The smaller sediments settle away from the shore where the water is calmer, while the larger sediments settle near the shore.

Mt. redoubt’s seismic activity is due to the interaction of which two tectonic plates
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Correct answer is: Due to interaction between Pacific and North American plate.

Explanation:

Mountain Redoubt is located in south Alaska. Mentioned mountain is in the vicinity of convergent plate boundary between North American and Pacific plate.

Convergent boundary means that those plates are <em>colliding</em>. One plate always slides beneath another, and in this case Pacific plate slides beneath North American. Area of collision is known as subduction zone.

Pacific plate is oceanic plate, and North American is continental plate. Oceanic plates <u>always slides</u> beneath continental ones. Reason for that is due to their density. Oceanic plates are denser, so they go under continental ones.

Pacific and North American plate interaction is typicall oceanic-continetal boundary where <em>earthquakes</em> (seismic activity) and <em>active volcanoes</em> are common. Some of the strongest earthquakes happened in this area. That was in 1964 in Prince William Sound in the south coast of Alaska. Magnitude was 9.2M, second strongest quake ever recorded in world's history.

How are landforms near the edge of continents different from landforms in the continental interior? How are these landforms rela
djyliett [7]

The landforms in the interior of the continents and at their margins mostly differ because of the difference in geological activity.

Explanation:

The landforms that are found in the interior of the continents tend to be old. They also are mostly consisted of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. In general the erosion is much more evident and dominant, thus the landforms also are with lower elevations when compared with the ones on the edges. This is due to the lack of geological activity as the interiors of the continents tend to be far away from the plate boundaries.

The landforms on the edges of the continents tend to be younger in general. The reason for that are the subduction zones and intense geological activity. The intense geological activity is due to the close proximity of the plate boundaries. The landforms tend to be higher in general, and volcanic arcs are also a common sight.
