A river carries sediment due to its high flow velocity. When a river reaches the ocean, this flow velocity is decreased and therefore not strong enough to carry the sediments farther. Thus, sediments are deposited or dumped when a river reaches an ocean or lake where the flow velocity is generally less than that of rivers.
Sediments are whatever the river carry down with it. Organic material and sand/stone/minerals.
When the waterflow is high these sediments get carried along with the water.
When river meet lake, the waterflow slows down and whatever the river carries with it will sink down if heavy enough, or float if not heavy enough.

They eventually settle out of the water in a process called deposition.
yup and that is the full truth you rock person that first made this :)
they get deposited this is called sedimentation
The area where sediment is deposited is called a flood-plain.

No.
A delta is a landform that is most likely made by the process of depositing sediments. Deltas are formed at the mouth of a river where the river's sediments are deposited as the river slows down and enters a larger body of water, such as a lake or an ocean. The accumulation of sediments over time creates a triangular-shaped landform with various channels and distributaries.
They erode sediments when it snakes back and forth across their valley. xxxJoanna
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.
It gets absorbed by the ground or if its on a slope it falls it to the bottom of it usually back into a river or lake or down the drain :D
No.
It is called a River Delta.
Most of the fish preferred are ones such as catfish and carp from river and lake bottoms which are usually picking up the sediments from the bottom.
The sediments build up on the floor of the stream, ocean, river, or lake and causes the water to lower.
it is a delta
Generally the speed of the transported load slows down considerably with the change in the transport medium from stream to lake or sea. As the energy of the motion is reduced, gravity claims the sediments.
lake will get dried
A river delta is formed from the deposition of sediments carried by a river as the river enters an ocean, sea, lake, or another river. This is because the flow velocity decreases significantly and the fluid loses the ability to transport sediment.
The source of a river is usually a lake, in this case it is the Fourth Connecticut Lake.
Usually another river or the sea or a lake
Usually another river or the sea or a lake
When a river flows into a lake or ocean, the sediments that the river carries settle to the bottom. Layers of sediment may covor the dead organism.
