How do moving sediments affects the channel of a stream?
The sediments build up on the floor of the stream, ocean, river, or lake and causes the water to lower.
Will there be more oxygen in a fast moving stream or a slow moving river?
Fast moving stream
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 is a force is responsible for a rivers capability to move sediments?
The force that is responsible for moving sediments in a river is the current.
What a delta?
A delta is a triangular deposit of sediment at the end of a river or stream. It happens when the strong current of the river slows down and deposits the sediments it has been transporting.
What is a concave bank of a river?
Concave bank- A Concave river bank is the steep slope shape of a river or stream. It is formed when materials and sediments are deposited on the ends and edges of the river,stream etc. The Convex is that of the opposite bank as the concave.Convex and Concave in a Meander gives the Channel an ASYMMETRICAL SHAPE.
How are leaches wetlands animals?
They live in moving water. If there is a stream or river, they will live there.
When a stream deposits sediment what can happen to the land?
River sediments are deposited where gravity and friction acting on the sediments overcomes the force of the moving water. Often, this is on the inner bend of a meandering river, where water speed is the slowest, or at the mouth of the river where it enters a larger body of water.
What material would most easily be carried in suspension by a slow moving stream?
Slow moving water will carry materials like sediments off of the rocks on the river bank. Slow moving water might also carry boats for example much more easily that fast moving water.
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 river deposits the greatest amount of sediments in the ocean?
The Amazon River, by far the greatest giver of river sediments.
Why do the sediments get deposited when a river runs into a lake or sea?
Generally the speed of the transported load slows down considerably with the change in the transport medium from stream to lake or sea. As the energy of the motion is reduced, gravity claims the sediments.
