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 fine soil deposited at the mouth of a river?
The soil that is deposited by a river to form landforms such as river bars and river deltas is called silt. A river delta is the name of the landform that is created the mouth of a river.
What is the name given to soil deposited at the mouth of a river?
The area of fertile soil at the mouth of a river is called river delta.
What is it called when a river deposits soil?
When silt or soil is deposited at the mouth of a river it often creates a landform called a river delta.
What are fine bits of rock and soil deposited on land by a river?
Sediment.
What is the name of the mineral-rich soil deposited in the Huang He river?
loess
The heavy minerals deposited where the river current slows down are called?
Minerals deposited by a river are called silt.
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 is the relationship between a river and a coastal system?
Rivers transport eroded material from the land, to be deposited in the coastal system.
What is the soil called deposited at the mouth of the river?
The soil that is deposited is called silt. The landform that is often created by deposited silt at the mouth of a river is called a river delta.
when the flow of a river does what the sediment is deposited?
The flow of water slows enough for the silt to be deposited.
When the flow of a river slows is the sediment deposited?
Yes, when the flow of a river slows the sediment is deposited.
The material made up of clay and bits of black soil and rock carried by the nile river and deposited in the delta is called?
Silt.
Most river sediments are deposited?
They are deposited at the river mouth, before it finally empties its water into the ocean.
What is land formed at the mouth of a river by deposited salt?
The landform that is created at the mouth of a river by deposited silt (not salt) is called a river delta.
How does speed affect where or how sediments are deposited?
The greater the speed the less sediment deposited. A delta is where a river slows way down and sediment is deposited at the mouth of the river.
Where are most river sediments deposited?
Most of it is trapped at the dam at Lake Nasser. After that it would be deposited when the flow of the river is too slow to carry it and ultimately what is left is deposited in the delta.
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.
