When looking at a profile of a river where do most of the smaller particles of sediment get deposited?
farther out into the body of water where the river empties
What causes a river to deposit sediment?
Most sediment washes or falls into a river as a result of mass movement and runoff. Other sediment erodes from the bottom or sides of the river. Wind can also drop sediment into the water. Hope I helped! -DorkyGeek77
When a stream deposits sediment what can happen to the land?
River sediments are deposited where gravity and friction acting on the sediments overcomes the force of the moving water. Often, this is on the inner bend of a meandering river, where water speed is the slowest, or at the mouth of the river where it enters a larger body of water.
Most river sediments are deposited?
They are deposited at the river mouth, before it finally empties its water into the ocean.
Where are most river sediments deposited?
Most of it is trapped at the dam at Lake Nasser. After that it would be deposited when the flow of the river is too slow to carry it and ultimately what is left is deposited in the delta.

How does a river collect sediments?
Most sediment washes or falls into the river as a result of mass movement and runoff. Other sediment erodes from the bottom or sides of the river
What transports most of the sediment in the beach environment?
Longshore Currents transport most sediment along the shore of beaches, according to my science book. .
What causes most sediment to wash or runoff into a river?

Which rock was most likely formed from pebble sized sediment deposited in shallow water at an ocean shoreline?
