When is sediment deposited in bodies of water and other low lying areas?
deposition
Why is sediment deposited in coastal areas?
The sediment is washed into the sea by runoff from the land, especially by rivers and streams. Most of this sediment does not travel very far offshore before settling.
Hollow areas in the sediment in the shape of an organism?
Fossil
What are the areas of sediment where a rivers mouth reaches flat land at the bottom of a mountain?
Alluviain fans

Why are deltas often good areas for farming?
delta land is good for farming because there is deep rich soil deposited as sediment from former floods
What are the venous areas in the nose that affect movement during sleep?
Swell bodies
Hollow areas in the sediment in the shape of an organism?
Fossil
What does Greek Delta mean?
A usually triangular mass of sediment, especially silt and sand, deposited at the mouth of a river. Deltas form when a river flows into a body of standing water, such as a sea or lake, and deposits large quantities of sediment. They are usually crossed by numerous streams and channels and have exposed as well as submerged areas.
Are silt deposits usefull as soil replacement?
Many farming areas in the world depend on silt deposited during floods to replenish the fertility in their soil. RB
What do you call areas of deposited sand or silt on river bends?
sand bars
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.
What is flat sea floor areas created settling sediment?
