conglomerate

In a stream channel what sediment is deposited first?
gravel sized particles
What is the process that takes place at the inside of a stream mender?

What is an Eskers?
They are formed by streams that deposited minerals that flowed on top of glaciers, inside the cracks of glaciers, and in tunnels below glaciers
Where a streambed curves deposition occurs?
Deposition occurs on the point bar in a meandering stream. The point bar is located in the inside of the bend of a meander where the current is the slowest. The slower current allows for deposition.
When alluvium accumulates as a long curving deposit of sediment on the inside of a stream meander it is called?
Point Bar
What does alluvial soil consists of?
Alluvial soil is clay, silt, or gravel carried by rushing streams and deposited where the stream slows down.
What is alluvial deposition?
Alluvial sediment:is clay or silt or gravel carried by rushing streams and deposited where the stream slows down. Alluvial deposition refers to this process.by which alluvium is thus deposited.
What is an entrenched meander?

How do you use alluvial in a sentence?
