Is a delta formed by erosion or deposition?
Deltas are formed from the deposition of the sediment carried by the river as the flow leaves the mouth of the river.
How does sediment settle?
The process of dropping sediments is called deposition.
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.
Is lava deposition?
No. A lava flow is considered an extrusive feature.
What are two ways to increase the amount of erosion or deposition in a stream-table experiment?
You could increase the amount of water flow, or increase the angle of water flow to increase the amount of erosion. Both will increase the amount of the resultant deposition.
What causes river waters to flow?
A slope and the force of gravity.
The flow of surface waters back into the ocean is generally referred to as?
That can be referred to as drainage.
Where do these leaking chemicals eventually flow?
Into ground waters and eventually the rivers and the seas.
The flow of surface waters back into the ocean is generally referred?
run off
Where are oceans most seriously affected by pollution?
Any oceans can hold pollution. It is mostly located in ore shallow waters but can flow out into deeper waters.

Where does erosion and deposition occur in a river?
Erosion occurs in meanders and fast flowing parts of the river. Deposition occurs when the flow is too slow to carry the particles so drops the dirt and soil it is carrying. Deposition also occurs on the inside of a meander, which is why the meander stays the same width, but moves about.
