What is the amount of sediments deposited annually by the miss river?
tons of thousands of sediments are deposited each day
Most river sediments are deposited?
They are deposited at the river mouth, before it finally empties its water into the ocean.
Why is a river deposits heavier sediments first and lighter sidements later as it flows along?
After that it would be deposited when the flow of the river is too slow to carry it.
What is the relationship between the distance from a river delta into the ocean and the size of sediments deposited on the ocean floor?
The further from the delta, the finer the sediments deposited.
Land formed at the mouth of a river by deposited sediments?
The Delta
When are sediments transported by a river deposited?
when rivers enter oceans or lakes, the water slows and sediment is deposited.
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 does alluvial soil form?
Alluvial sediments are those deposited by a river.
What happens to materials in a river no longer has the energy to carry them?
They settle out as deposited sediments.
What is the term for the triangular feature created by sediments deposited at the mouth of a river?
Delta
Where does a River erode sediment?
sediments are transported by ocean rift, streams, river currents, wind (air). they are deposited according to size. The largest sediments are deposited first. The sediments settle into the sand and are carried by the stream. Near the mouth of the stream where the water moves slowly the small sediments settle out. The larger sediments get carried by the river into the sea then the samller sediments. The sea water dissolved minerals and soak the sediments and cement together. This eventually forms sediments.
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.
