What happened when mesopotamia got floods?
The floods in mesopotamia were common and irregular, but the mesopotanians dealt with that by living on high banks of rock near the rivers tigress and Euphrate. When the river flooded, the water would go through the banks, not over them, and the rocks would filter out debris. The debris free and nutrient rich water would then water the crops in the fields.
Where was clay invented and is it biodegradable?
Clay was never invented but it was discovered that you dampen it, sculpt it and finally bake it somewhere on the banks of the river Nile. It's not biodegradable as it is actually a kind of rock. It'll turn to dust eventually but only at the same speed a plastic bag will turn into gasses

A river deposits layers of minerals and other rocks at its mouth. Over time, what kind of rock is formed by the deposits?
Over millions of years, layers of sediment may build up and harden into sedimentary rock. Some of the many forms of sedimentary rock include sandstone, rock salt, and coal. Sandstone forms as sand hardens.

Sedimentary rock is the rock formed as a result of deposits from weathering and erosion. Sedimentary rock can be millions of years old.
What are deposits of wind-blown rock flour called?
Loess deposits.
What are flat deposits of rock?
moraines
Why is there sand at the bottom of many river beds?
The abrasion and attrition combined with hydraulic action on the river bed and the river banks erode away the underlying rock which results in small grains of rock we call sand. Depending on the speed of the river and the size of the particles, the sand will be deposited by the river at different stages (usually though it is found near the mouth of the river).
A sedimentary rock formed from sand deposits is called?
A sedimentary rock formed from sand deposits is called a 'Sandstone' or generically a 'Psammite'.
What rock forms from deposits?
