Larger particles are deposited first as a stream loses velocity. Gravel would be deposited first, since it is the largest (out of Clay, Silt, Sand, and Gravel)

when the flow of a river does what the sediment is deposited?
The flow of water slows enough for the silt to be deposited.
When the flow of a river slows is the sediment deposited?
Yes, when the flow of a river slows the sediment is deposited.
What is land formed at the mouth of a river by deposited salt?
The landform that is created at the mouth of a river by deposited silt (not salt) is called a river delta.
How does speed affect where or how sediments are deposited?
The greater the speed the less sediment deposited. A delta is where a river slows way down and sediment is deposited at the mouth of the river.
Where are most river sediments deposited?
Most of it is trapped at the dam at Lake Nasser. After that it would be deposited when the flow of the river is too slow to carry it and ultimately what is left is deposited in the delta.
Where do earth materials go that are eroded away by water?
It is deposited by the water in the following place: inside bends of the stream and river channel the flood plane of the river river deltas into lakes or the sea.
What is earth deposited at the mouth of a river?
CACA
What happens to materials in a river no longer has the energy to carry them?
They settle out as deposited sediments.
When a river slows down what types of sediment will be deposited first why?
The heaviest sediment will always be deposited first. Which sediment is the heaviest in that flowage can vary widely.
What is the soil called deposited at the mouth of the river?
The soil that is deposited is called silt. The landform that is often created by deposited silt at the mouth of a river is called a river delta.
when the flow of a river does what the sediment is deposited?
The flow of water slows enough for the silt to be deposited.
What is the earth and sand deposited in the mouth of the river?
The earth and sand deposited there are called "sediments" and they build up to form what is called a "delta"; a triangular wedge shaped like the Ancient Greek letter "D" - hence "delta".
When the flow of a river slows is the sediment deposited?
Yes, when the flow of a river slows the sediment is deposited.
What happens when water flows over earths materials.?
when the water flows over earth materials the earth materials start to increase into a river and it will have lots and lots of meanders in there
Most river sediments are deposited?
They are deposited at the river mouth, before it finally empties its water into the ocean.
What is land formed at the mouth of a river by deposited salt?
The landform that is created at the mouth of a river by deposited silt (not salt) is called a river delta.
How does speed affect where or how sediments are deposited?
The greater the speed the less sediment deposited. A delta is where a river slows way down and sediment is deposited at the mouth of the river.
