Silt becomes built up at the mouth of rivers as it is deposited into larger bodies of water. Silt is composed of mineral rich soil which is excellent for crops.

What kinds of minerals end up as sediments?
blank materials end up as sediments
What are 2 ways that sediments build up?
Sediment can build up because of the wind or water.
How is the water cycle involved in moving rock and sediment from a mountain top to a beach?
When it rains on a mountain top, it creates a river. That river flows down carrying sediments witch end up in the beach.
What is a delta created by?
Deltas are created when a thick river with slowing meanders deposit the sediment and rocks build up and create new land. This new land causes the river or stream to break apart and creates branches. A delta is now created.
What is a build up of sediment deposited along the channel of a river that keeps a river inside its banks?
Levee
How do moving sediments affects the channel of a stream?
The sediments build up on the floor of the stream, ocean, river, or lake and causes the water to lower.
Where do Sediments tend to build up in the ocean?
Sediments build up in the Abyssal plain.
What happens to earth materials that have been eroder by a river?
They end up as sediments in lakes or seas.
A river system is made up of a river and its?
sediments
What kinds of minerals end up as sediments?
blank materials end up as sediments
Where do many of these sediments end up?
sediments are carried by different means of travel and are usually end up in basins
Sediments tend to build up in the?
condimental shelf

What process happens farther up the river to bring the sediments to the delta?
erosion
When do sediments in a river drop?
At the mouth of a river, when emptying into a larger body of water because the water slows dramatically when it reaches a much larger body. There is also often a build up on the far sides of bends in a river for this same reason, the water slows on the curves.
What is Deposits formed when wind blown sediments settle and build up behind an obstacle?
Dunes.
