What is a carrying sediment?
A carrying sediment is a material in motion within a river, stream, or ocean that is transporting particles such as sand, silt, or mud. This sediment is picked up and moved by the flow of water or wind, aiding in erosion and deposition processes in various environments.
When a river is carrying small particles of clay and slit the river may appear muddy?
Silt
Sediments form a where the river meets the ocean?
The sediments are called silt or alluvium. The land formed from these sedimants where the river meets the ocean is a delta.
Why is the water of the river fresh and the ocean is salty?
Because the silt in the sea has salt in it
What is the name of the muddy sediment that is found where the river meets the ocean called?
silt
How is mechanical energy used in nature?
Erosion of soil. Rivers carrying silt and depositing it. Wind blowing dandylion seeds. Is this what you are looking for.
What river has large amounts of yellow silt?
The Yellow River in China is known for its high levels of yellow silt, which gives the river its name. The silt comes from erosion of the Loess Plateau and is carried downstream by the river's strong current, depositing it along its banks and creating fertile soil for agriculture.
How much silt does the Indus River have?
The Indus River carries a significant amount of silt due to the erosion of the Himalayas and its tributaries. Studies estimate that around 400 million tons of silt are transported annually by the Indus River.
What processes are involved in the formation of delta?
The three basic steps are erosion (weathering), transport (carrying silt), and deposition (carried load settles out).
What process are involved in formation of a delta?

What is the triangular or fan shaped deposit of sediment that forms where a river empties into an ocean or lake?
silt This trianguar deposit of sediment where a river empties into an ocean is called a delta.
How is delta and silt linked together?
Deltas are landforms formed at the mouth of a river where the river meets a body of water, such as a sea or ocean. Silt is a type of sediment that is commonly found in river deltas, as it is carried by the river and deposited in the delta. The accumulation of silt over time contributes to the growth and formation of delta landforms.
