A "slow moving river of ice" is a glacier. A slow moving chunk of ice floating down a river is a "floe".
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.
Material will travel faster in a river flowing down a steep slope. As the water slows down, the material will also slow down.

The metabolism can greatly slow down when you have hormone problems. It can also slow down if you don't eat healthy foods and exercise.

Gravel cannot slow down a river because rivers flow in all sorts of angles and speed.
Yes, plants absorb some of the water. It thick vegetation might slow runoff down too.
terracing grows some vegetation which helps slow down erosion

These are some things that cause the speed of water to slow down. Broad flat channels slow a river down, a rough channel will also slow the water down. Basically, anything that increases the surface area of a body of water, against which water flows will slow it down, this is due to the increase of friction. In addition, water flows slowest at the margins of a river, if the river is winding, water will flow slower at the inside curves.
The Mata Mata is a green river turtle found in the tropical rainforests. It is shaped much like fallen leaves and vegetation. This turtle hides amongst the rotting vegetation of a slow moving water and preys on fish.
Down in the valley, a river tends to slow down and meander.
It will gradually slow down and the river will pick up and move additional sediment.
A sketch of the vegetation of the Swan River Colony was created in 1839.
How does Vegetation help with a river Ecosystem?
Slow River was created in 1995.
