What causes most sediment to wash or fall into a river?

Most sediment enters a river through runoff, which carries loose material from the land, and mass movement, such as landslides, which moves sediment downhill into the channel. Friction and turbulence affect how water moves sediment, while deposition is when sediment settles out of the water. Therefore, the correct choice is “mass movement and runoff.”
