What process occurs when a river's water slows down and sediments are dropped?
Yes, when a river, or any flow of water that enters the ocean slows down, and dumps out into the ocean, it deposits some sediments, it really just depends on how large is the flowing water source. _________________________ Not only does the water slow down, it also spreads out into a fan shape, which is called the "delta", because it resembles the triangular shape of the Greek letter delta. It is this "slowing down and spreading out" that allows the river to start depositing its silt; when the water is moving fast, it keeps churning all that dirt downstream.
