Sediment that leaves heavy minerals in places where the river slows down called?
estuary
When a river slows down and deposits its sediment load smaller particles of sediment are deposited first. True or False?
True
When a river slows down and deposits its sediment load smaller particles of sediment are deposed first true or false?
True
Is this true or false When a river slows down and deposits its sediment load smaller particles of sediment are deposited first?
True. When a river slows down, it loses its ability to carry large sediment particles, so it deposits them first. Smaller particles settle later as the energy of the river decreases further.
What is the triangular shaped sediment accumulation?
A delta is a triangular-shaped sediment accumulation at the mouth of a river where it meets a body of water, such as an ocean or lake. As the river's flow slows down upon entering the larger body of water, it deposits sediment it has been carrying, creating the delta over time.
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.
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.
Why does a delta form where the river meets the ocean?
the water slows down, causing the sediment to sink
Why does delta often form where a river meets the ocean?
Because water slows down and sediment drops to the bottom
What is the heavy material that's deposited when the river currently slows down?
Well heavy earth material like sand slows down at the mouth on the river. It slows down at the mouth because at the source of the river is the fastest but as it is moving down the plain it is slowing down because of friction. Also because the eroded sand that is in the water is making the water heavier which means it will slow it down
When a river slows down as it reaches the ocean sediments carried by the river are deposited.What kind of land form is created from the sediment?
It is called a delta
What happens when wind slows down or meets and obstacle A erosion?
When wind slows down or meets an obstacle, it loses the energy needed to transport sediment and may deposit the material it was carrying. This process can lead to erosion around the obstacle where the wind's ability to move the sediment is diminished.
