How does speed affect where or how sediments are deposited?
The greater the speed the less sediment deposited. A delta is where a river slows way down and sediment is deposited at the mouth of the river.
When are sediments deposited?
When the river hits the sea and slows down, hence why a large number of rivers have sedimentary deltas at the mouth
When are sediments transported by a river deposited?
when rivers enter oceans or lakes, the water slows and sediment is deposited.
Why do the sediments get deposited when a river runs into a lake or sea?
Generally the speed of the transported load slows down considerably with the change in the transport medium from stream to lake or sea. As the energy of the motion is reduced, gravity claims the sediments.
When the flow of a river slows is the sediment deposited?
Yes, when the flow of a river slows the sediment is deposited.
when the flow of a river does what the sediment is deposited?
The flow of water slows enough for the silt to be deposited.
When a stream slows down its competence is reduced and sediment begins to be?
Sediments begin to be Deposited. This occurs or is been experienced mostly at the river mouth, where its water enters a larger body, like the sea. (i.e. at its distributaries).

What landform wsa most likely made by the process of depositing sediments?
A delta is a landform that is most likely made by the process of depositing sediments. Deltas are formed at the mouth of a river where the river's sediments are deposited as the river slows down and enters a larger body of water, such as a lake or an ocean. The accumulation of sediments over time creates a triangular-shaped landform with various channels and distributaries.
What happens to a river flow that cause alluvium to be deposited?
The flow of water slows enough for the silt to be deposited.
Which type of sediments will be dropped first as the wind slows?
Probably the heaviest
The heavy minerals deposited where the river current slows down are called?
Minerals deposited by a river are called silt.
