Which change at a particular location in a stream usually causes more sediment to be deposition at that location?
Decrease in stream velocity
Which change in a stream causes deposition?
A stream deposition occurs when, in the lower reaches, the flow of water (speed of flow) is reduced. Which is when the heavier sediment falls out and settles on the river bed.
When the velocity of a stream suddenly decreases the sediment being transported undergoes an increase in?
Deposition, whereby the sediment load being transported is dropped.
What weathering and erosion would affect the piney woods ecoregion in Texas?
what weathering does is that weathering moves your soil or sediments and then when it hits a stream erosion happens and moves it down along the stream and then comes deposition and the sediment lands at a random spot.
How does the gradient of a stream affect how much erosion it causes?
It is because if a stream gets bigger, it is allowed to carry more sediment. More sediment means more erosion.

How sediment control erosion?
Typically, when the earth's surface is exposed to the impacts of rainfall, there is an increase in the volume and velocity of runoff. This sets off a chain reaction that results in the transport and deposition of sediment, reduced stream capacity, and ultimately increased stream scour and flooding.
What is it called when a fast moving stream slows down and deposits sediment?
It is called deposition. It occurs as friction or gravity overcomes the force of the moving water.
What is a meander and moraine?
A moraine is a place of deposition for a glacier. It contains unsorted till, or sediment. A meander is a type of stream. It is a long curvey stream that moves slowley. Meaders are found in plain type areas
What is a streams bed load?
Sediment that is carried by a stream along the bottom of its channel.

Which is not a sediment transporting agent from the following list - Stream water wind storm glacial ice and stratification?
Stratification as this is a term that describes the layering of rocks and so is not a term that is related to sediment transport (i.e. erosion) but is instead the result of deposition, compaction and cementation.
