Very, very gradually in low energy depositional environments or very rapidly in high energy environments (think for example of storm surges that can move large volumes of material in a very small period of time).

What else can I help you with?

How does deposition occur at the Grand Canyon?

Deposition is when something settles out into another place. For example, sand can be moved place to place.


Is deposition the carrying of earth materials from place to place?

Erosion is the transfer of material from one place to another place. Deposition is the settling of sediments to a resting place.


Is the dropping of sediment that has been moved from one place to another?

Deposition is the dropping of sediment by wind, water, ice, or gravity. Sediment is created through the process of weathering, carried away through the process of erosion, and then dropped in a new location through the process of deposition. ANSWER: Deposition


What place in a meander does erosion and deposition take place?

Erosion primarily occurs on the outside curve (cutbank) of a meander, where the water flow is faster and more forceful. Deposition occurs on the inside curve (point bar) of the meander, where the water flow is slower, allowing sediment to be deposited.


Does most erosion take place on the bottom if the meandering stream?

No: That is where deposition occurs. Erosion is where the river is flowing at its fastest, the mountain torrent stage.

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.


Where does erosion and deposition take place in a river bend?

In a river bend, erosion typically occurs on the outer bank as the water flow is faster and exerts more force, causing the bank to be undercut. Deposition occurs on the inner bank where the water flow slows down, allowing sediment to be deposited. Over time, these processes can cause the river bend to change shape.


Where is the placing of new materials in a new place?
