It is the rainy season! Rivers are more muddy-looking during storms. All BUT ONE statement helps to explain this occurrence. (1 point)
Rivers are more muddy-looking during storms because:
1) The rainwater washes sediment from the surrounding areas into the river, increasing its turbidity.
2) The increased flow and velocity of water during storms causes the riverbed and banks to erode, releasing more sediments.
3) Storms may cause landslides or mudslides, which deposit mud and sediment into the river.
4) The heavy rainfall can disrupt the natural deposition process, leading to a higher concentration of sediments in the river.
5) Storms can agitate the riverbed, stirring up sediments that may have settled, making the river appear muddy.
