Why Width will increase as you go downstream?

Width will increase as you go downstream due to the process of erosion and sediment deposition. As a river flows, it erodes the banks and bed, widening the channel, especially in areas with lower gradient. Additionally, the river carries sediment that can accumulate in certain areas, further contributing to a broader channel. This dynamic interplay between erosion and sediment deposition leads to the characteristic widening of rivers downstream.
