Rain.
What causes most sediments to wash or fall into a river?
Erosion from land surfaces, such as rainfall, wind, and agricultural activities, can cause sediments to wash or fall into a river. Human activities like deforestation and construction can also contribute to increased sediment runoff into rivers.
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

Which area of river will most likely contain the most sediment?
The area of a river that will most likely contain the most sediment is the riverbed and the banks, particularly at points where the water flow slows down, such as in pools or bends. Sediment tends to accumulate in these regions due to decreased water velocity, allowing particles to settle. Additionally, the river's mouth, where it meets a larger body of water, often has high sediment deposits due to the influx of sediment carried downstream.
Which situation is MOST likely to cause a river to deposit all its sediment?
The river flows into a lake
A population of salamanders that live in a river require clear fresh water to survive a flood causes tons of sediment to be suspended in the river what will most likely will happen to the salamanders?
The salamanders will decrease in number because of water quality
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
Which carries more sediment a fast moving river or a slow moving river?
Fast moving. sediment is heavy it settle out in slow water. But a river that just became slow after being fast looks like it has the most, because of all the settling going on.
