How does rivers cause erosion?
water in a river is constantly moving. Moving water will pick up sediments from the bottom of a river, and carry them with it. Water also has the power to move large rocks slowly along the bottom of a river.
What is a large thick body of slow moving ice?
A large thick body of slow-moving ice is called a glacier. Glaciers form over time as snow accumulates and compacts into ice, flowing downslope under the force of gravity. Glaciers can reshape the landscape as they erode rocks and carry sediments.
What are large amounts of sediments sliding downhill?
mass movement
What do you call large sediments rolled across the river?

What is a sedimentary rock made from large sediments like rock and pebbles?
conglomerate
Sedimentery rock made from large sediments like rocks and pebbles?
Conglomerate
What is a coarse-grained sedimentary rock in which large rounded sediments can be seen?
conglomerate
What is Sedimentary rocks made from large sediments like rocks and pebbles?

What is a landform created when a river reaches a large body of water and deposits sediments called?
A landform created when a river reaches a large body of water and deposits sediments is called a delta. Deltas are typically triangular or fan-shaped and form where the river's velocity decreases, causing it to deposit the sediments it has been carrying.
What is a landform created when a river reaches a large body of water and deposits sediments?
Delta.
What erodes river bottom more than sides in mature rivers?
large sediments.
Where do the most sediments from the continents settle on?
The majority of sediments from continents settle in the oceans, especially in areas close to the coastlines where rivers deposit large amounts of sediment. These sediments can accumulate in continental shelves, deep sea trenches, and submarine canyons.
