What landform wsa most likely made by the process of depositing sediments?
A delta is a landform that is most likely made by the process of depositing sediments. Deltas are formed at the mouth of a river where the river's sediments are deposited as the river slows down and enters a larger body of water, such as a lake or an ocean. The accumulation of sediments over time creates a triangular-shaped landform with various channels and distributaries.
What creates landforms such as alluvial fans and deltas?
Process of detritus and sediments deposition at river mouths, where they form distributaries and empty their water into the ocean.
What is the name of the place where a river originates?
A river's place of origin is where the river begins; this is called the source. The opposite of the river's source is the mouth, or where the river ends. The mouth of the river is where the river meets the ocean.
Why do particles carried by a river settle to the bottom as the river enters the ocean?
Because the velocity of the river water decreases as it enters the ocean.
What usually happens to sediments when a river runs into a lake or sea?
A river carries sediment due to its high flow velocity. When a river reaches the ocean, this flow velocity is decreased and therefore not strong enough to carry the sediments farther. Thus, sediments are deposited or dumped when a river reaches an ocean or lake where the flow velocity is generally less than that of rivers.
When a river meets an ocean why do sediments drop out?
It will drop because there is no longer a current to carry the sediments.
Sediments form a where the river meets the ocean?
The sediments are called silt or alluvium. The land formed from these sedimants where the river meets the ocean is a delta.
What river deposits the greatest amount of sediments in the ocean?
The Amazon River, by far the greatest giver of river sediments.
What is the relationship between the distance from a river delta into the ocean and the size of sediments deposited on the ocean floor?
The further from the delta, the finer the sediments deposited.
How is a river delta formed?
A river delta is formed from the deposition of sediments carried by a river as the river enters an ocean, sea, lake, or another river. This is because the flow velocity decreases significantly and the fluid loses the ability to transport sediment.
Why does a delta often forms where a river meets a ocean?
Because the river water is no longer flowing downhill, the water slows down.
The Rouge River meets the ocean in which state?
The Rouge River meets the ocean in Oregon.
What is the name for when the sea meets the ocean?
I think that you mean where a river meets the ocean? Since the ocean and the sea are the same thing. It is called an estuary.
What forms where a river meets the sea or ocean?
delta
