11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Fast

Explanation:

For a river that deposits small particles where it flows into a sea, the current is likely to be fast.

A fast current is only able to winnow through the sediment and removes the fines.

  • On reaching the river mouth with the sea, they settle and get deposited
  • For a slow current, there is enough time for the energy to get along with the sediments.
  • This ensures the proper drag of the particles throughout the session into a basin or the river mouth.
  • Most fast currents are not usually deep enough to remove the coarse particles.
