What does alluvial soil consists of?
Alluvial soil is clay, silt, or gravel carried by rushing streams and deposited where the stream slows down.
How does temperature influence arctic soil?
it slows slows down soil formationIt has low temperature.
How does slope affect the erosion and deposition of a river?
A steep slope increases the water flow, and the erosion wherever the bank is formed from softer material than rock, can be quite great when the river is in flood. Deposition is increased when the flow slows in the lower reaches as the river reaches the valley, and the gravel and silt is able to settle.
What is the process in which moving sedimentary material slows down?
what is nonfoliated
What benefits do you get from soil erosion?
It slows down the greenhouse effect.
Which particles are the first settle as moving water slows?
Rock and soil!!
What particles are the first to settle as moving water slows?
the ones with the highest density
Suppose sand gravel and clay are being carried by a river. As the water enters a lake and slows down In what order will these sediments settle out of the water?
the sediment could change in order bto the types of erosions. as a river slows larger pieces settle first gravel settes first, then sand, and then tiny clay sized clay particles
Does a stream from mountains get faster or slower as it continues?
It depends on the topography of the land. Generally,however, the stream slows down as the stream moves away from the mountains.
How would a reduction in friction in a stream channel affect the streams velocity?
As water in the stream channel flows, it encounters friction; the friction slows the forward movement. The shape,size, and roughness affect the amount of friction. High friction slows the stream significantly.
How does a river's speed affect its erosive ability?
Along with friction, turbulence slows the stream's flow and may also erode the stream.

Why do settle out of flowing water as it slows down?
Because it has less energy and can carry less sediments.
Which earth materials are deposited first as the water in a river slows down?
Heavier particles such as gravel and sand are deposited first as the water slows down. Finer particles like silt and clay settle later and further downstream due to their lighter weight.
Why do sediment settle out of flowing water as it slows down?
Because it has less energy and can carry less sediments.
when a river slows down what does it do to the sediment its carrying?
As a river flow slows, the sediment starts to settle out. The water at the river's edge often has the lowest flow or movement so there will be more sedimentation.
What is a triangular deposit of sediment formed on dry land where a fast flowing stream flattens and slows?
a Delta
