∙ 10y ago"Fluvial" refers to the shapes made by running water. Over the course of years or centuries, running water can wear away the hardest materials; for example, the Grand Canyon in the USA was carved by the flowing water of the Colorado River.

none of the above
What is river sediments?
Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of wind, water, or ice, and/or by the force of gravity acting on the particle itself.Sediments are most often transported by water (fluvial processes), wind (aeolian processes) and glaciers. Beach sands and river channel deposits are examples of fluvial transport and deposition, though sediment also often settles out of slow-moving or standing water in lakes and oceans. Desert sand dunes and loess are examples of aeolian transport and deposition. Glacial moraine deposits and till are ice-transported sediments.
What process do scientist use to think about and explore the natural world?

What are the two types of deposition?
