Is fertile sediment considered an alluvium?
Yes
Why are lands by the water more fertile?
First of all, The soil is absorbing the nutrients and minerals that the water erodes from the rocks in the body of water. Next, sediment from more fertile lands (for example, down a river from a mountain) are deposited on the riverbank.
How is sediment?
The sediment transport by the rock cycle
What are particles of materials that are settle out of water?

How are sediments in loess deposit different from the sediment in a sand dune?
Loess is very fertile while sand is not
How are the sediment in loess deposits different from the sediments in a sand dune?
Loess is very fertile while sand is not
What kind of sediment is deposited in the river delta?
Highly fertile silt. The structure of the soil particles is like sand.
What do you call a fertile sediment deposited by a river?
The material deposited by a river is called sediment. The bits of organic debris such as leaves and stems is detritus. Sediment includes detritus, inorganic material such as pebbles, sand, clay and other rock bits.
What material is carried along the river bed?
Mature rivers carry large amounts of sediment along their lengths. This helps to shape the land and produce fertile farm lands.
Did the Nile river leave fertile soil after it flooded?
Yes. The sediment carries minerals from upstream and can replenish those depleted by farming.
How are fertile crescents related to the Blue and White Nile?
A fertile crescent is a bit of fertile land in the middle of a desert or dry area. The Blue and White Nile are rivers that flow into the hot, dry, desert areas of northeastern Africa. When the rivers overflow, the deposit sediment and water onto the land. This sediment is very fertile, so plants begin to grow. Eventually, the land becomes very fertile and forms a fertile crescent around the banks of the Blue and White Nile. That is how fertile crescents relate to the Blue and White Nile. *This answer was posted by a 7th grader from Snelson Golden Middle School from Liberty County, Georgia.
