What is deposition in science?
Deposition is the process of sediments being deposited as a sediment
Where does final deposition of sediments occur?
Deposition is the state of being deposited or precipitated as in the deposition of soil at the mouth of a river.
How does deposition work with erosion and weathering?
in erosion sediments are are deposited, in weathering sediments are taken away
Is drumlin the result of erosion or deposition?
Drumlin is the result of deposition and not erosion. It refers to a long, low hill of sediments deposited by a glacier.
When a river overflows its banks. it deposits sediments over a broad flat area of land on both sides of the river this broad flat area is called?
Floodplain
What is stream deposition?
A stream's sediment load is typically deposited, eroded, and redeposited many times in a stream channel, especially during climatic variations such as flooding. Sediments are deposited throughout the length of the stream as bars or floodplain deposits. At the mouth of the stream, the sediments are usually deposited in alluvial fans or deltas, which represent a lower-energy, more "permanent" depositional environment that is less susceptible to changes in the stream flow. i got this from clift notes
When is sediment deposited in bodies of water?
We use the term deposition to describe the process by which sediment is laid down in a body of water. The sediment is said to have been deposited at the bottom of the body of water, and more may follow to build a layer of sediment.
What is vertical accretion?
Deposition of sediments over the top of the floodplain during flood events; produces horizontally bedded layers with varying degrees of lateral continuity
Is sedimentation deposition?
Sediment is often deposited as the tide rises and falls. As the incoming and outgoing water crosses the beach or banks, sediments are deposited.
Are sediments?
Sediments in geology are solid fragments of inorganic or organic material that come from the weathering of rock or biological processes and are carried and deposited by wind, water, or ice. Sediments are types of rock that are formed by the deposition of material from the Earth's surface. There are different types of sediments rocks.
The agents of erosion lay down sediment in a new location in process called?
deposition. its easy to remember because its positionwith a de- in front.
Where does the final deposition of sediment usually ocur?
The final deposition of sediments usually occur in their final resting place called the deposition environment. These sediments are buried by other sediments.
