We use the term deposition to describe the process by which sediment is laid down in a body of water. The sediment is said to have been deposited at the bottom of the body of water, and more may follow to build a layer of sediment.

What are rocks snd soil deposited by streams called?
they are deposited by sediment
Why are sediments deposited?
Sediments are deposited when the water flow begins to decrease. When this happens, the water can no longer move the sediment around, therefore, sediments will fall to the bottom.
Where does the sediment end up?
Sediment is generally deposited within basins.
How does a igneous rock become a sedimentary rock?
The igneous rock gets weathered into sediment by wind, water, and ices. The sediment is deposited in a basin and buried. The pressure of burial and the heat inside Earth turns that sediment into stone.
Sediment in water often become solid rock when?
When it is deposited, covered by additional sediments, compressed, and cemented together by minerals.
What sediment is deposited in bodies of water and other low lying areas?
Deposition
When is sediment deposited in bodies of water and other low lying areas?
deposition
During what is sediment deposited in bodies of water and other low lying areas?
Deposition
when the flow of a river does what the sediment is deposited?
The flow of water slows enough for the silt to be deposited.
What is ''alluvium ''and is it used?
Sediment deposited by flowing water
What are rocks snd soil deposited by streams called?
they are deposited by sediment
What is alluvium and how is it used?
Sediment deposited by flowing water
When the flow of a river slows is the sediment deposited?
Yes, when the flow of a river slows the sediment is deposited.
Why are sediments deposited?
Sediments are deposited when the water flow begins to decrease. When this happens, the water can no longer move the sediment around, therefore, sediments will fall to the bottom.
When sediment is deposited by water which particles will sink last?
The smallest, least dense particles.
What is called when sediment is laid down in a body of water?
We use the term deposition to describe the process by which sediment is laid down in a body of water. The sediment is said to have been deposited at the bottom of the body of water, and more may follow to build a layer of sediment.
When a river slows down what types of sediment will be deposited first why?
The heaviest sediment will always be deposited first. Which sediment is the heaviest in that flowage can vary widely.
