Is the Nile river formed by erosion or deposition?
The Nile River is formed by Deposition.
Was the Arkansas River Valley formed by erosion or depostion?
The Arkansas River was formed by erosion, not deposition.
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.
What are river deposition?
when a part of a river has been through erosion and in some cases a meander has formed
Is a waterfall formed from erosion or deposition?
It is formed from both. The rocks forms the falls had one had to be deposited and their current erosion by the river is resulting in the waterfall.
Is a oxbow created by erosion or deposition?
When deposition finally seals off the cutoff from the river channel, an oxbow lake is formed.
What force created the Mississippi river delta?
Erosion and deposition formed the delta. Sediments were carried south by the river from the central US, including its tributaries including the Ohio, Missouri, and Red Rivers.
What is formed by deposition a delta or valley?
A delta is formed when sediment is deposited at the mouth of a river. A valley is formed when a river runs through a flat surface, erodes the soil, and creates a depression. So delta=deposition and valley/canyon=erosion. I hope that helped!
Are river deltas caused by erosion?
No, deltas are formed from the deposition of the sediment carried by the river as the flow leaves the mouth of the river. Over long periods of time, this deposition builds the characteristic geographic pattern of a river delta.
What was the Mississippi river delta formed by?
Erosion and deposition formed the delta. Sediments were carried south by the river from the central US, including its tributaries including the Ohio, Missouri, and Red Rivers.
How does slope affect the erosion and deposition of a river?
A steep slope increases the water flow, and the erosion wherever the bank is formed from softer material than rock, can be quite great when the river is in flood. Deposition is increased when the flow slows in the lower reaches as the river reaches the valley, and the gravel and silt is able to settle.
What is the work of a river?
The work of the river as an agent of erosion and deposition is that it carries away the soil from one point to another. At a level ground, the sand deposits at the bottom of the river bed.
