What is in the river?
Water, sediment and aquatic life.
How do a river slope and volume of affect the river sediment load?
The steeper the slope, the faster the water will run, and the more sediment it can carry.The larger the volume of water that is moving, the more sediment it can carry with it.
What causes a river to deposit sediment?
Most sediment washes or falls into a river as a result of mass movement and runoff. Other sediment erodes from the bottom or sides of the river. Wind can also drop sediment into the water. Hope I helped! -DorkyGeek77

What is river efficiency?
River efficiency is how easily a river can move water, sediment and bedload.
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.
When water from a river carrias sediment or tiny pieces of sand it leaves some of the sediment along the banks of the river this is called what?
deposition
when the flow of a river does what the sediment is deposited?
The flow of water slows enough for the silt to be deposited.
