How is earth's surface likely to change along the edges of a bend in a river channel? erosion takes place along the inner edge as water flows relatively slowly. erosion takes place along the outer edge as water flows relatively fast. deposition takes place along the inner edge as water flows relatively fast. deposition takes place along the outer edge as water flows relatively slowly.

i think that the answer is Deposition takes place along the inner edge as water flows relatively fast. hope this helps

A river flowing down a straight path will be moving the fastest in the middle of the river, just below the surface.  But if that river approaches a bend, the speed changes.  

SINCE FAST MOVING WATER DOES MORE EROSION, THE FAST OUTSIDE BEND IS WHERE EROSION OCCURS ON A RIVER

THE SLOWER INSIDE PART OF THE BEND IS WHERE DEPOSITION OCCURS ON A RIVER.

OUTSIDE BEND = FAST = EROSION

INSIDE BEND = SLOW = DEPOSITION

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.
