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.
What force caused the deep canyon that the river now flows in?
erosion by moving water because Moving water is a powerful force that can shape the land by eroding soil and depositing it in new locations.Rain that falls on the land moves downhill and collects into streams and rivers. Over time, the moving water in the river erodes the soil and carries it away until it a canyon forms.
Water running downhill is the major agent of?
Water running downhill is the major agent of erosion.
What type of gradient would a river have when it is actively eroding its stream bed?
When a river is actively eroding its stream bed, it typically has a steep gradient. This steep gradient increases the water's velocity, enhancing its ability to transport sediment and carve out the channel. As the river flows downhill, the energy is concentrated, allowing for significant erosion of the bed and banks. Such conditions are often found in mountainous or hilly regions where the river's slope is pronounced.
Why might a river eroding and depositing sediments along its side start to cut into earth to form a canyon?
If there was a change in sea level due to land being uplifted then the river would have more potential energy to cut into the earth.
What is a river of lava called?
A river of lava is called a lava flow. It is a mass of flowing molten rock that moves downhill from a volcano during an eruption.
Where is the river Thames eroding the land?
no where!!
Is the excess rain water that does not soak into the ground. It moves downhill collects in streams and eventually forms a(n) .?
Runoff, river system
Can you put eroding in a sentence?
I watched as the rushing rapids of the river was eroding away the river rocks, making them dull and round. IDK
A moving river of ice that carries rocks and wears away the land is called?
A glacier. Glaciers are large masses of ice that slowly move downhill, eroding the land and carrying debris like rocks with them.
When are sediments transported by a river deposited?
Sediments carried by a river are typically deposited when the river's velocity decreases, such as in areas with gentle slopes, bends, or at the river's mouth where it meets a body of standing water like a lake or ocean. This decrease in velocity results in sediment settling out of the flow and accumulating on the riverbed.
How a river was formed?
A river raft was formed by the water eroding the river time after time
