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.

How does a contracting protostar convert gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?

s2008m [1.1K]

The answer of how it is convert is the sun generates energy by slowly contracting in size; converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy and this is called gravitational contraction. Gravitational collapse is the narrowing of an astronomical object due to the effect of its own gravity, which tends to draw matter inward toward the center of gravity.
