Depends on the environment and mode of deposition. I think that you're thinking of an alluvial fan.

What is the overburden soil?
In geology, overburden soil is the soil and other material which lies over a rock formation or mineral deposit.
What is a loamy soil deposit?
loess
What is a mass of some mineral in rock or in the ground?
deposit
What is a deposit of soil that collects at the mouth of rivers?
Silt
How is soil part of the rock cycle?
is soil part of rock cycle
What is the overburden soil?
In geology, overburden soil is the soil and other material which lies over a rock formation or mineral deposit.
How does gravity relate to a stream's ability to erode and deposit materials?
The gradient of a stream effects the energy as it has eroding soil and rock. This happens because depending on the pressure of the water flow, it can erode soil and rock.
What weathering material leaves ridges of broken rock and soil?
Glaciers pick up rocks and soil as they move across land. When the glaciers melt, they deposit the rocks and soil. Today there are ridges of rocks and soil where glaciers once were.
When soil is moved from the place it was made?
It is called a soil deposit.
What are loose rock fragments?
Loose rock fragments can be caused by weathering, or indeed erosion. They can be found in a scree slope, and alluvial fan, a beach, in the soil (they are the soil, sometimes). Loose rock fragments are known to a geologist as 'Unconsolidated sediment' which can be classified into various groups. Consider alluvium; the deposit from a river.
When is a stream most likely to deposit the rock and soil that its carrying?
It will start to deposit it's load when the gradient starts to become shallower which will cause a decrease in energy and so a reduction in ability to transport sediment load.
What is a loamy soil deposit?
loess
What is a mass of some mineral in rock or in the ground?
deposit
Are rock and soil elements?
No. Rock and soil are mixtures.
What are loose rocks?
Loose rock fragments can be caused by weathering, or indeed erosion. They can be found in a scree slope, and alluvial fan, a beach, in the soil (they are the soil, sometimes). Loose rock fragments are known to a geologist as 'Unconsolidated sediment' which can be classified into various groups. Consider alluvium; the deposit from a river.
What three elements are likely to be found in a sample of soil and rocks?
soil- Clayey soil, sandy soil, and loamy soil rock-metamorphic rock, instrusive/extrusive rock, sediments
Where can you find marble rock?
under the soil or in the sand of the sea or ocean.
