How do a river's slope and volume of flow affect the river's sediment load?
Wiki User

The steeper the slope, the faster the water will run, and the more sediment it can carry.
The larger the volume of water that is moving, the more sediment it can carry with it.

What three affect how fast a river flows and how much sediment it can erode?
A river's slope, volume of flow, and the shape of its streambed all affect how fast the river flows and how much sediment it can erode.
What effect does increase slope have on a rivers speed and sediment load?
it puts dirt in it making the water dirty :) <3
Is creep a very slow movement of a sediment down a slope?
Yes, this is true. Creep is a very slow movement of sediment down a slope.
What factor is most likely to affect the amount of erosion done by a stream?
The slope or gradient of the stream is the most likely factor to affect the amount of erosion. Steeper slopes result in higher velocities, which in turn increase the erosive power of the stream. A steeper slope also allows the stream to carry larger sediment and potentially cause more erosion.
Is Creep is very slow movement of sediment down a slope?
Yes, this is true. Creep is a very slow movement of sediment down a slope.
What three factors affect how a fast river flows?
It is Slope , Volume of flows , and Streamed Shape.
How do the rivers of the northern plains make the land fertile?
The rivers carry silt and sediment, which they get from the mountains due to soil erosion. (the rivers flow extremely fast due to a steep slope) Due to less gradient of slope in the N.Plains, the rivers flow more sluggishly and are not able to carry the silt anymore. So, they deposit these minerals on their banks (forming flood plains if they flood) causing the land to become fertile.
