How does a river collect sediments?
Most sediment washes or falls into the river as a result of mass movement and runoff. Other sediment erodes from the bottom or sides of the river
What causes most sediments to wash or fall into a river?
Erosion from land surfaces, such as rainfall, wind, and agricultural activities, can cause sediments to wash or fall into a river. Human activities like deforestation and construction can also contribute to increased sediment runoff into rivers.
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
How would a fast-flowing river be most likely to move sand-sized particles of sediment?
The particles would stay on the side of the bank and be known as a runoff.
How would a fast flowing river most likely to move sand sized particles of sediment?
The particles would stay on the side of the bank and be known as a runoff.
Causes most sediment to wash or fall into a river?
Erosion through gravity. Agents of erosion are water, wind, and ice.
What is deforestation and and how does it affect of river flow?
Deforestation means to cut down most of a forest for its' timber. It causes rapid rain runoff and erosion.
Why is sediment deposited in coastal areas?
The sediment is washed into the sea by runoff from the land, especially by rivers and streams. Most of this sediment does not travel very far offshore before settling.
Which situation is MOST likely to cause a river to deposit all its sediment?
The river flows into a lake
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
A population of salamanders that live in a river require clear fresh water to survive a flood causes tons of sediment to be suspended in the river what will most likely will happen to the salamanders?
The salamanders will decrease in number because of water quality
Why do most mudflows occur in dry mountainous regions after a heavy rainfall?
Adding too much water to sediment increases the pressure between grains and causes a loss of cohesion, which can cause the sediment to behave as a fluid. Mountainous regions often have steep slopes that can fail and produce mudflows. Arid regions generally have little vegetation to reduce runoff and hold sediment in place.
