What we called fine sand soil or mud which is carried alnog by river?
Sediment is dirt, rocks, and sand carried by a river.
How sediment accumulates?
Sediment accumulation is where sediment accumulates generally in the point of the lowest elevation. If sediment is in a river generally the sediment will accumulate at the mouth of the delta when entering the marine environment (proximal to distal).
Long ridges of sediment alongside the channel of a river are called?
That is called, a delta.
How do stream transport sediments?
Stream transport sediment in three ways, dissolved load, (ions in solution being carried downstream), suspended load, (suspended sediment that floats freely downstream) and bed load, (sediment that rolls or scoots along the bottom of the river).
What is deposition of sediment outside the banks of a river?
Sediment
What is the quantity of sediment carried by a river?

What is the total quantity of sediment carried by a river?
sediment load
What are small rocks carried along by a river called?
sediment
What is it called when sediment cannot be carried anymore?
By a river? Deposition.
What is sediment carried by the river that collect's at the rivers mouth called?
The sediment itself is called silt, and it often is deposited at the mouth of rivers and forms a landform called a river delta.
What we called fine sand soil or mud which is carried alnog by river?
Sediment is dirt, rocks, and sand carried by a river.
What large boulders carried along by a river?
Large boulders and smaller rocks can be carried by a river. When rocks and sediment are displaced, it's called erosion.
When a river slows down as it reaches the ocean sediments carried by the river are deposited.What kind of land form is created from the sediment?
It is called a delta
What happens to a river?
Sediment and small rocks are carried down in the river and are deposited.
How can large rock be transported in a river?
Large boulders and smaller rocks can be carried by a river. When rocks and sediment are displaced, it's called erosion.
What are the types of river sediment?
bits and pieces of rock get carried away.
What goes load quantity mean in terms of rivers?
Load quantity in rivers refers to the amount of sediment (such as sand, silt, and gravel) carried by the flowing water. It can be influenced by factors such as erosion, sediment sources, and flow velocity. High load quantities can impact water quality, river ecosystems, and flood risk.
