In a stream channel what sediment is deposited first?
gravel sized particles
Which change at a particular location in a stream usually causes more sediments to be deposited at a location?
Decrease in stream velocity
A lode is a layer of minerals that has been deposited in a stream bed True or False?
This is false. A lode is not a layer of minerals that has been deposited in a stream. A lode is formed by hot mineral solutions going into the cracks of the rocks.
Is a stream a result of erosion or deposition?
A stream, which flows in a channel, is formed as a result of erosion as the channel itself must be formed from erosion. Deposition is not common here, but there is a lot of loose material in the stream which is eroded over time, which has been put there through erosion. The material is first eroded further, then transported, and will ultimately be deposited at the mouth.
What is the difference between old alluvium and new alluvium?
Alluvium refers to clay, silt, sand, gravel, or similar detrital material deposited by running water. New alluvium are these sediments that are being deposited right now and older alluvium refers to sediments that were deposited a short while before the new alluvium. For example, a 500 years ago some sediments were deposited in a stream bed and last year more sediments were deposited in that same stream bed. The 500 year old sediment would be older alluvium and the 1 year old sediment would be the younger alluvium.
In a stream channel what sediment is deposited first?
gravel sized particles
Which earth materials are deposited first as the water in a river slows down?
Larger particles are deposited first as a stream loses velocity. Gravel would be deposited first, since it is the largest (out of Clay, Silt, Sand, and Gravel)
What is the birth name of Christann Chanell Turner?
Christann Chanell Turner's birth name is Christann Chanell Turner.
What is stream deposition?
A stream's sediment load is typically deposited, eroded, and redeposited many times in a stream channel, especially during climatic variations such as flooding. Sediments are deposited throughout the length of the stream as bars or floodplain deposits. At the mouth of the stream, the sediments are usually deposited in alluvial fans or deltas, which represent a lower-energy, more "permanent" depositional environment that is less susceptible to changes in the stream flow. i got this from clift notes
Which change at a particular location in a stream usually causes more sediments to be deposited at a location?

Pile of sand or gravel deposited by a stream inside the meander?
Levees and regoliths.
What is the general term for any well sorted stream-deposited sediment?
Sedimentation.
What is the fan-shaped mass of sediment deposited by a stream into an ocean or a lake?
lake
