What are deposits left near a river by the process of erosion usually good for?
Deposits left near a river by erosion, such as sediment or soil, are fertile and nutrient-rich, making them good for agriculture. These deposits can enhance soil quality and support the growth of crops when used for farming. Additionally, they can contribute to the overall health of the ecosystem by providing habitats for various plant and animal species.
Why does a river valley become flat in the lower course?
The river valley becomes flat in its lower course due to the levels of erosion occurring in the river itself. In the upper course, the river's energy is used for vertical erosion(downward erosion) in order to get to sea level. That's why you see steep V-shaped valleys or Gorges being formed. However, in the lower course when the river is at sea level, a lot of this erosion becomes lateral(horizontal) which is why you see rivers becoming a lot wider in the lower course. Therefore, because the river is no longer eroding downwards there's no longer a difference in height between it and its valley, so the river valley becomes flat.
How has man used river flooding?

What natural resources are found around the Danube river?

Additionally, areas along the Danube are known for their deposits of gravel, sand, and clay, which are used in construction and manufacturing. Furthermore, the river serves as an important transportation route, facilitating trade in these natural resources.
What landforms are formed from a river's flow?

No. Salt is extracted from deposits left by salt water bodies. The similarity in names between salt and basalt is purely coincidence.
How were the arches and bridges of Arches National Park formed?

What is the sediment and other deposits picked up as a result of abrasion called?
