What is Cirque caused by?
stream deposition
Does erosion or deposition occurs when materials drop out of wind or water?
Deposition occurs when materials drops out of winds or water
Where a streambed curves deposition occurs?
Deposition occurs on the point bar in a meandering stream. The point bar is located in the inside of the bend of a meander where the current is the slowest. The slower current allows for deposition.
Particles that roll and slide along the stream bed make up the of the stream?
Bed Load
What do the solid particles of a stream include?
bed load and suspended load
What causes a stream to deposit some of its load?
deposition
What causes a fast-moving stream to deposit some of its load?
deposition
Which change in a stream causes deposition?
A stream deposition occurs when, in the lower reaches, the flow of water (speed of flow) is reduced. Which is when the heavier sediment falls out and settles on the river bed.
What are three types of stream deposits?
The three types of stream loads are dissolved load, suspended load, and bed loads. I hope this helps! :D
How can a stream both erode and deposit sediments?
Erosion occurs where the stream has most energy, and deposition where it has least. This occurs as the amount of energy is not uniform across it's width.
What is the dropping of sediment that occurs when an agent of erosion can no longer carry its load?
I'm pretty sure it is called "deposition".
When the velocity of a stream suddenly decreases the sediment being transported undergoes an increase in?
Deposition, whereby the sediment load being transported is dropped.
Where does deposition occur in a river?
deposition occurs at the part of a river where there is no longer enough energy for the water to carry the sediments and they are deposited. Deposition is when an agent or erosion (in this case river water) loses energy and can no longer carry sediments, so it deposits them.
Does most erosion take place on the bottom if the meandering stream?
No: That is where deposition occurs. Erosion is where the river is flowing at its fastest, the mountain torrent stage.
What is Cirque caused by?
stream deposition
What is it called when a fast moving stream slows down and deposits sediment?
It is called deposition. It occurs as friction or gravity overcomes the force of the moving water.
Does erosion or deposition occurs when materials drop out of wind or water?
Deposition occurs when materials drops out of winds or water
