What usually happens to sediments when a river runs into a lake or sea?
A river carries sediment due to its high flow velocity. When a river reaches the ocean, this flow velocity is decreased and therefore not strong enough to carry the sediments farther. Thus, sediments are deposited or dumped when a river reaches an ocean or lake where the flow velocity is generally less than that of rivers.
What happen to the energy being put into water when it reaches 100 degrees?
It turns from latent energy into sensible energy when steam is created

How does Delta form?
As a river flows it picks up sediment and carries it away. When the river reaches the ocean the sediments deposited, over time a delta forms.
How do you clean calcium deposits in humidifier?
pour warm vinegar into it and let it sit for a while (swoosh around so that it reaches all sides and corners). It's a natural agent to clean the calcium deposits off. then rinse with water. safe for kettles also.
What are advantages and disadvantages of a jetty?
advantages: 1. it helps avoid build up of unwanted sediments by collecting sand on one side of it before it reaches the structure. 2. prevents harbors from building up with sediments. disadvantage: 1. increases deposition on one side and the other side will erode and narrow the beach.

What is the relation between erosion and deposition?
They are opposite processes. Water running down a mountain carries soil with it (erosion) until the water reaches a river mouth where it deposits (deposition) the carried soil.
