Why is the nile delta shrinking?
Active erosion takes place along the river course, causing weathered and eroded rock particles to travel downstream with the water. These sediments are trapped by the dam and deposit there, preventing areas below the dam from receiving any sediment. This is in turn affects deltas further downstream. Deltas are formed at river mouths if the load deposited exceeds the amount being eroded away by the sea. Since the sediments are trapped by the delta, the amount of sediment being deposited onto the delta is less than the amount being eroded away by the sea.
Are rivers constructive are destructive?
Here's a short answer: I assume you mean "Are rivers constructive or destructive" and it is very dependent on your perspective. Rivers, like any kind of water, will erode any earth that is in contact with it, but they also deposit nutrients and soil on its banks, or in the case of rivers like the Nile, they will periodically flood and deposit said nutrients on the flood plains, making those plains fertile. If you're building something, then yes, a river can be very destructive, but they're essential for the planet's cycle of life.
What happens to any rock in the rock cycle to form sedimentary rock?
In order to become a sedimentary rock a rock must be broken down or eroded by weathering. The sediments of the rock then go through the lithification process where they are cemented and compacted together forming a sedimentary rock.
Can granite get eroded by acid?
Not to any significant degree.
What rocks are sedimentary rocks made from?
Sedimentary rocks can be made from any kind of material, from other rocks to shells to fossils. Basically, any rock, from metamorphic to igneous and even to sedimentary, can be weathered and eroded. These particles and grains can be carried great distances by wind, water, ants, etc. before they are lithified (cemented) back together to form sedimentary rocks.
What rock is weathered and eroded by waves?
Any rock outcropping at a shoreline.
What role does gravity play in erosion and deposition?
it makes all the eroded stuff deposit at the bottom, if there wasnt any gravity stuff would jut erode into the wind and turn into tiny terror plants that would blow around erode the rest of are planet, silly
What is the maximum amount of cash you can deposit in a bank?
Banks will accept any amount if you deposit it. However any cash deposit made over $10,000 will be reported to the IRS.
Non refundable deposit refundable when?
Non refundable deposit means that the deposit will NOT be refunded to you at any time in the future after you make the non refundable deposit.
Are there any rivers in Paris?
I dont think there are any rivers in paris
The dropping of sediments by any agent of erosion is called?
deposition
Difference between time deposit and demand deposit?
Demand Deposit It is type of an account from which deposited funds can be withdrawn immediately at any time without any notice to the depository institution. Time Deposit It is type of deposit which is in contrast to demand deposit and funds are not available immediately .These are also known as term deposits .
