What else can I help you with?
When do streams and rivers deposit sediment?
When their velocity decreases
Are there any rivers that deposit and eroded sediments?
Most rivers have eroded and Deposited sediment.
What features about formed when rivers and streams deposit sediment?
4556547= 5765= lime rock
Do rivers deposit sediment when they slow down?
Yes. A slower current cannot carry as much sediment or particles as large as a faster current.
As rivers flow into the ocean and deposit thick layers of sediment on the ocean floor what will the crust under the sediment do?
the crust will cool to form metamorphic rock
Most places where rivers meet with seas or ocean have a sediment deposit area that resembles which shape?
triangle
What are the areas of sediment deposit where rivers mouth reaches flat land at the bottom of a mountain?
Alluviain fans
What sources of water can be tributaries?
rivers and steams
When rivers slow down they drop sediment in a process called?
When rivers slow down, they deposit sediment in a process known as sedimentation or deposition. This happens when the velocity of the water decreases, causing it to lose its capacity to carry the sediment, which then settles on the riverbed or banks.
What is a deposit of soil that collects at the mouth of rivers?
A delta is a deposit of soil that collects at the mouth of rivers. Deltas form when sediment-rich water flows into slower-moving or standing water, causing the sediment to settle and accumulate over time. Deltas are typically shaped like a triangle or fan, with multiple distributaries carrying sediment into the receiving body of water.
What is one structure form through the deposition of sediment?
River deltas are formed by the deposit of river silt at the mouths of rivers.
What are the two primary sources of sediment for beaches?
The two primary sources of sediment for beaches are rivers and coastal erosion. Rivers transport sediments from the land and deposit them along the coast, while coastal erosion breaks down rocks and cliffs along the shoreline, contributing sediment to the beach.
