The greater the streams rate of flow, the greater the amount of erosion, the larger the sediments.

How does wave affect sediment?
sediment causes H2O to discolor. also sediment causes some submerged vegetation to die. so to top it off sediment can kill plant life.
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
When does flowing water deposit the sediment it is carrying?
Whenever the force of friction of the particles, when they touch the floor, is greater than the force with which the water carries them. That depends on a lot of factors, including the speed of the flow, the size and material of the particles, their exact shape, how rough or smooth the floor is, and probably a few more details.
What are particles of materials that are settle out of water?
Sediment
When water evaporates from a body of water what kind of sediment is left behind?
The sediment is a mixture of sand, soil, salts, detritus.
Why does most of the sediment deposit in the mouth of the river?
Rivers are generally much wider at their mouths and this means the water speed is much less than further upstream. The result is that sediment is maintained in suspension less and therefore settles out.
Sediment is the solid matter that water ice and wind transport and deposit?
seeds
What type of deposit that results from a turbidity current is a?
The type of deposit that results from a turbidity current is a sediment deposit, or a turbidite. This type of deposit makes the water denser, which makes it sink deeper while the clearer water rises.
How do a river slope and volume of affect the river sediment load?
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.
How do a river's slope and volume of flow affect the rivers sediment load?
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.

How does water affect sediment?
When water deposites sediments in new locations, it creates new landforms.
How does wave affect sediment?

Do trees affect soil?
Trees affect the soil in a good way. They are an important part of erosion control. Tree roots bind the soil, while their leaves break the force of wind and rain on soil. They reduce water runoff and sediment deposit after storms, and conserve rainwater.
