Describe three ways that sediment moves in a river?
Sediment moves through a river by these three ways: bouncing, flying, and being suspended.
What is deposition of sediment outside the banks of a river?
Sediment
What is the total quantity of sediment carried by a river called?
sediment load
Do the levels and the sediment load increase or decrease as the river ages?
As a river gets older sediment load decreases due to the age of the river and erosion
How do stream transport sediments?
Stream transport sediment in three ways, dissolved load, (ions in solution being carried downstream), suspended load, (suspended sediment that floats freely downstream) and bed load, (sediment that rolls or scoots along the bottom of the river).
How does sediment enter river and streams?
I think sediment can enter a river through erosion. PLease dont use this anwser i dont think it is right

What are the main ways sediment enters a river?
On flood planes the water erodes away the banks of the river. The Eroded dirt and sediment fall into the river.
The main ways sediment enters a river are mass movement and?
Runoff
Why is the Betsiboka river orange?
Due to the sediment within the river. this sediment causes the river to appear orange/reddish
What is deposition of sediment outside the banks of a river?
Sediment
What is the quantity of sediment carried by a river?
sediment load
Does an old or young river deposit more sediment?
an older river deposits more sediment.
When the flow of a river slows is the sediment deposited?
Yes, when the flow of a river slows the sediment is deposited.
What is the total quantity of sediment carried by a river?
sediment load
Why does a river deposits its load?
the 3 ways are:1) solution2)suspension3)bed load
Can the smaller the load a river has the more sediment it can carry?
The smaller the load a river has the more sediment it can carry is false. When the river has more energy, it is able to carry a larger load, therefore more sediment.
