What else can I help you with?
What is the laying down of material carried by the river as it flows more slowly called?
Sedimentation
When a river slows down what does it deposit?
It drops the material. This is called deposition :)
When a river slows down as it reaches the ocean sediments carried by the river are deposited.What kind of land form is created from the sediment?
It is called a delta
Land area that includes soil carried down by a river and deposited at the rivers mouth is called a?
Deltain Peru
What happens to a river?
Sediment and small rocks are carried down in the river and are deposited.
What is a deposit that forms where a river leaves a mountain range called?
A deposit that forms where a river leaves a mountain range is called an alluvial fan. This fan-shaped deposit is created as the river slows down and deposits sediment and debris that it has carried from the mountains.
Does material travel faster when the river is flowing down a steep slop or across flat land?
Material will travel faster in a river flowing down a steep slope. As the water slows down, the material will also slow down.
What is alluvial material?
Alluvial material is sediment that is deposited by flowing water, such as rivers or streams. It is composed of particles like sand, silt, and gravel that are carried by the water and then deposited when the water slows down. Alluvial material is often found in floodplains and river deltas.
What is the heavy material that's deposited when the river currently slows down?
Well heavy earth material like sand slows down at the mouth on the river. It slows down at the mouth because at the source of the river is the fastest but as it is moving down the plain it is slowing down because of friction. Also because the eroded sand that is in the water is making the water heavier which means it will slow it down
What is the term for erosion caused by stones in river?
Evolution
What is it called when moving force wears down a material?
Erosion wears down material. Examples that you can see in nature include mountains, river beds, and canyons.
What is the fan like formation of a river called?
The fan-like formation of a river is called a "delta." Deltas form at the mouth of a river where it meets a body of water, such as an ocean or lake, and sediment carried by the river is deposited as the flow slows down. This creates a triangular or fan-shaped landform, often rich in biodiversity and fertile soil.
