Why is dune vegetation important?
Like on any other surface, vegetation has a "stabilizing effect" - the roots and leaves, etc. prevent or slow down erosion. In the case of deserts, the slow the rate of dune movement, thus slowing the spread of deserts.
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 happens to sediment when waves slow down?
deposition
When rivers slow down they drop sediment in a process called?
ice
What causes wind to deposit sand and or other sediment?
When the wind starts to slow down it starts to deposit sand or other sediment.

Which carries more sediment a fast moving river or a slow moving river?
Fast moving. sediment is heavy it settle out in slow water. But a river that just became slow after being fast looks like it has the most, because of all the settling going on.
Do rivers deposit sediment when they slow down?
Yes. A slower current cannot carry as much sediment or particles as large as a faster current.
