When rivers slow down they drop sediment in a process called?
ice
What process breaks down granite into sediment?
The process that breaks down granite into sediments is weathering.
What is the difference between sedimentation and decantation?
Sedimentation:- The process of settling down of heavier insoluble particles from mixture is called sedimentationDecantation:- the process of transferring the clear liquid without disturbing the sediments is called DecantationSupernatant :- the clear liquid above the sediments is called supernatant.so basically sedimentation lets the sediments settle down, and once they are settled, removing of the liquid (supernatant) above the settled sediments is called Decantation.Sedimentation is the deposition of the phase more dense or insoluble from a mixture.Decantation is a process of a mixture separation; the top layer of liquid is extracted.These two phenomenons are very related.
The agents of erosion lay down sediment in a new location in process called?
deposition. its easy to remember because its positionwith a de- in front.
What are the dissolved particles in water?
We find that organic and/or inorganic sediments are laid down in water. These sediments are insoluble materials that are transported to the place where they are deposited in a process called (you guessed it) deposition. Materials dissolved in the water (soluble material, like salts and other minerals) may be laid down if the water is evaporated off over time.The sediments that are laid down in water are known as fluvial (deposited in rivers and streams) and lucustrine (lake) sediments.
The process of building new land forms by laying down sediments is called?
sedimentation
What is the process called in which beach sediments are moved down the beach with the current?
Longshore drift.
Where do rivers and oceans meet?
That is called the river's mouth. A delta could form there from the sediments settling there do to the river slowing down or stopping.

What is the carrying away of the naturally broken down materials called?
When wind or water wear away a rock, the process is called "erosion".
What is it called when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces called sediments?
sedimentation
