What is water flowing over land carrying particles of sediment?
Runoff is water flowing over land that carries particles of sediment.
How are sediments moved about?
Mostly By water from river.... than Air, Glaciers etc.
What is ''alluvium ''and is it used?
Sediment deposited by flowing water
One of the main sources of sediment in flowing water?
runoff
How is soil transported?
Soil is transported by erosion from flowing water, glaciers and wind (mainly in deserts).
When particles of sediment in flowing water scrape against the streambed?
Abrasion
What is alluvium and how is it used?
Sediment deposited by flowing water
What happens to rocks in flowing water?
it get wet then breaks apart when get transported inside the dirt
What kind of erosion occurs when water flowing as a sheet caries away sediment?
Sheet erosion.
Could a fast flowing river carry very little sediment?
Fast moving water can carry more sediment. Firstly because the potential of erosion rises with flow speed; secondly because larger grains can be transported by faster water and thirdly because the volume flow per unit time increases with flow speed. The actual amount / concentration of sediment transported by a stream is very dependent on the geology of the catchment, i.e. the amount of soft sediment available for erosion.
How do rivers create new landforms?
Flowing water contains sediment. Sediment eventually forms different kinds of landforms depending on where it was deposited.Erosion
What am i describing when material that has been eroded and transported is dropped by the water wind or ice that was carrying it?
The deposition of sediment.
