What else can I help you with?
What are the two main sources of the sediment that rivers and streams carry?
The correct answer is silt and clay.
Why do most rivers have wider channels than streams?
Streams are merely tributaries of rivers. A river is the wider channel into which smaller creeks, streams and rivers flow. (Streams do not flow out of rivers.) Streams carry water from higher sources, emptying into the river. As more streams empty into a river, it tends to become broader, simply because of the greater volume of water it is carrying.
What word means moving rivers pick up lighter sediment and carry it along?
Erosion is the movement of sediments by wind, water, ice, and gravity. Transportation of sediments by rivers and streams is referred to as fluvial erosion.
Do all streams carry sediment?
Yes, because it erodes
What forces carry sediment?
Wind, water, ice, and gravity are the main forces that carry sediment. Wind can transport fine particles over long distances, while water can move sediment through rivers, streams, and ocean currents. Ice can transport sediment when it freezes into glaciers, and gravity can cause landslides and rockfall to move sediment downhill.
Where do streams carry the largest part of there load at?
Streams carry the largest part of their load near their source, where they have the most energy and ability to transport sediment. As streams move downstream and lose energy, they deposit sediment in the form of gravel, sand, silt, and clay.
What did people do before building an aqueduct?
They went to rivers, lakes, streams to carry water to settlements. Often settlements were built near water sources.
What is the most powerful agent of deposition?
Water is typically the most powerful agent of deposition due to its ability to transport and deposit large amounts of sediment. This is especially true for rivers and streams, where flowing water can pick up and carry a variety of sediment sizes.
What do rivers Carry?
Rivers carry a variety of materials including sediment, minerals, nutrients, organic matter, and pollutants. The specific composition of what rivers carry depends on factors such as the geology of the region, land use activities, and water flow dynamics.
What else do you think rivers carry to the sea besides salt?
sediment
Do rivers deposit sediment when they slow down?
Yes. A slower current cannot carry as much sediment or particles as large as a faster current.
Where does most runoff eventually end up?
I KNOW that runoffs eventually go to rivers,streams, and then it goes to the ocean so the answer is OCEAN
