Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Natural levees are formed when floods cause sediment to be deposited on the banks of a stream or river, creating low ridges on either side of the channel. As water floods over the banks, it slows down and drops its sediment load, building up the ridge. Natural levees are typically most pronounced near the channel and thin away from it.
