minerals are moved by the water's pressure and when the water hits rocks it collects minerals and washes it into other places.
Material will travel faster in a river flowing down a steep slope. As the water slows down, the material will also slow down.
Grant moved his troops down the Mississippi River to Pittsburg Landing.
silt
It drops the material. This is called deposition :)
The river is constantly flowing so that's how material moves down the river.
Well heavy earth material like sand slows down at the mouth on the river. It slows down at the mouth because at the source of the river is the fastest but as it is moving down the plain it is slowing down because of friction. Also because the eroded sand that is in the water is making the water heavier which means it will slow it down
it moved goods up and down the Mississippi river faster the the flatboats could!

Answer Yes. During the first year, the Union sent gunboats and troop ships down the Mississippi River to attack Fort Donnelson. Then they moved over to the Tennessee River in order to move into northern Mississippi(state). Later, Union ships moved into the mouth of the Mississippi River and attacked the Confederate shipyards located in the Yazoo River. They moved troops to Vicksburg in order to lay a seige on this important city that threatened the ships traveling the river.
Sedimentation
More, much more, it has more kinetic power, it erodes quicker, it carries more aluvium, it is more destructive.
