Answer 1

$\huge\mathcal{\fcolorbox{lime}{black}{\pink{Answer}}}$

In the middle reach from Fuling to Fengjie, slope gradient and inundating duration were the controlling factors, and the sediment deposition amount was greater in the areas with a gentler slope or lower elevation. Water flow on gentler slopes generally had lower velocity, resulting in more sediment to deposit.
