What usually happens to sediments when a river runs into a lake or sea?
A river carries sediment due to its high flow velocity. When a river reaches the ocean, this flow velocity is decreased and therefore not strong enough to carry the sediments farther. Thus, sediments are deposited or dumped when a river reaches an ocean or lake where the flow velocity is generally less than that of rivers.
. Minerals that are heavy durable and chemically resistant are likely to be found in deposits.?
placer deposits

Where is the starter relay on 91' Ford Escort stationwagon?
It is on the starter itself and is called the starter solenoid. Heavy current is handled by the solenoid which is activated by the ignition switch. Current comes from the igniton switch, then to the s terminal on the starter which then connects heavy amperage to the starter motor itself.
