What do rivers Carry?
Rock sediment and sometimes trash
What else do you think rivers carry to the sea besides salt?
sediment
What are two main sources of sediment that rivers and streams carry?
Silt and clay.
What are the two main sources of the sediment that rivers and streams carry?
The correct answer is silt and clay.
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.
When is the most sediment deposited along the river?
After a heavy rain, or in the spring when the snow melts.
Are there any rivers that deposit and eroded sediments?
Most rivers have eroded and Deposited sediment.
Where is sediment rock?
Found in most lakes and ponds rivers
How do a river's slope and volume of flow affect the rivers sediment load?
The steeper the slope, the faster the water will run, and the more sediment it can carry.The larger the volume of water that is moving, the more sediment it can carry with it.

What caused the ocean to remove sediment from land?
Water, the transporter of sediment, seeks the lowest possible point for deposition. Rivers and streams carry sediment downward through elevations until they are deposited in oceans.
Why is a beach more likely to change rapidly if it is placed along a river mouth where there are many winter storms than if it is found along a quiet stretch where there are no rivers and few storms?
Rivers carry sediment, which when deposited at the beach, increases the land. Similarly, rivers can carry sediment away from a beach, also changing its shape. These two forces can work together to effectively move sediment from one area of the beach to another. Similarly, storms also move sediment.
