If a motorboat travels 25 km hr down a river whose velocity is 4 km hr what is the boats actual velocity?
21 km/h in the rivers frame of reference.
Are deltas and alluivial fans formed by erosion or deposition?
They are formed by deposition of sediments from rivers and streams.
Why do gentle sloping wide rivers have more meanders than steep fast-flowing rivers?
Fast flowing rivers are more erosive and are light on the deposition of sediments. Slow flowing rivers allow for the deposition of sediment which create the meanders.
What is the dropping of soil and rock by rivers?
Fluvial deposition.
How do calculate the velocity of the boat relative to the shore?
Add the rivers velocity to the boats velocity
When a fast moving rivers slows it results in the deposition of?
Sediment
What are 3 main types of work a river carries out along its valley?
the work of rivers can be seen in three ways namely 1. transportation of materials from uplands to lowlands 2. erosion by rivers and the resultant features 3. deposition by rivers and its effects
What is an example of a land feauture created by water deposition?
The deposition of water (its precipitation) is called rain. Rain falls and collects in rivers, rivers carve out valleys in the land. Therefore a river valley is a land feature created by water.
When does a river develop meander?
At its lowwer course, during the matured stage, the rivers velocity and erosive power greatly reduces, because now it flows through a relatively wide/broad and shallow course. Deposition of sediments occurs as the river moves on progressively, this materials left along interfers with its normal flow, resulting in a winding courseway, forming meanders.
When do streams and rivers deposit sediment?
When their velocity decreases
How does deposition affect land form?
It slowly degrades shores and walls on the sea or rivers.
How does glaciers and rivers form new rocks?
Glaciers and rivers transport eroded rock material (sediment), that can form new sedimentary rock after deposition.
