Which effect results when a long Southern Hemisphere river flows toward the equator?

💡 Explanation

Increased erosion occurs on the eastern bank because the Coriolis effect deflects moving objects to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in greater force, therefore eastward, rather than symmetric erosion since the continents do constrain flow.
