What usually happens to sediments when a river runs into a lake or sea?
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.
Where can one find information about sediments?
If one is looking to research information on sediments they have a lot of resources. The best resource is the online website Wikipedia. Wikipedia has an in depth page full of information on sediments.
Where does footpath erosion usually happen?
Erosion happens anywhere there is a soft (or non-durable) surface. Softer, siltier soils are prone to erosion, as are wet areas where there is a lot of mud. Often, hikers will step off the maintained trail if it is rutted and wet, forging a new parallel trail to the established trail; doing so tramples and kills vegetation, which leads to more erosion. Erosion happens on steep slopes if they are not properly drained. Also, hikers can cause erosion by cutting switchbacks instead of walking their full length. Basically this is just where a new path is cut by lots of people walking along it.
How does breakwater help to prevent coast from erosion?
Breakwaters act as barriers that absorb the energy of incoming waves, reducing their strength and preventing them from reaching the shore with full force. This helps to reduce erosion along the coast by minimizing the impact of waves on the shoreline. Additionally, breakwaters can help to trap sediments and promote the accumulation of sand, which further protects the coast from erosion.
What is the land full of between and around rivers?

How does the earth's surface change rivers?
Rivers can erode the Earth's surface when they flow full during floods. They can carry sediments and deposit at different places so the terrain changes. Rivers also maintain the earth's water tables alive. They help maintain the greenery on the earth's surface.
