What else can I help you with?
What are bed loads in a stream?
the sand, gravel, boulders, or other debris transported by rolling or sliding along the bot-tom of a stream.
What is a broad bend in a river or stream called?
PIE not the pi in math but,PIE as in the thanksgiving pie you have after your turkey,stuffing, and mashed potatoes. PIE!!
When a stream emerges from a mountain canyon the stream slope is greatly reduced as a result the sediment is deposited within a short distance and forms a or an?
Alluvial Fan
Where is the velocity greatest with a stream with meanders?
On the outside. This is because when the water is flowing around a meander, the water practically goes around, where erosion occurs. If you know science, wherever in a stream where erosion occurs, thats where the velocity is greatest.
Which sedimentary rock is most likely to have been deposited in a very high-energy stream?
conglomerate
You find gold nuggets near a meander of a stream in California explain where in the meander area the gold nuggets were most likely found and why gold is deposited at this location?
The river's velocity is much slower on the inside bend of a meander, so any material being transported in the river is deposited.
What is the process that takes place at the inside of a stream mender?
i think you mean stream meander. the process is deposition
When alluvium accumulates as a long curving deposit of sediment on the inside of a stream meander it is called?
Point Bar
In a stream channel what sediment is deposited first?
Coarse sediment, such as gravel and larger particles, is typically deposited first in a stream channel due to its heavier weight and inability to remain suspended in the flowing water for extended periods of time. Finer sediment, like sand and silt, may be carried further downstream before being deposited.
Which earth materials are deposited first as the water in a river slows down?
Larger particles are deposited first as a stream loses velocity. Gravel would be deposited first, since it is the largest (out of Clay, Silt, Sand, and Gravel)
Which part of a stream will experience a build up of sand and gravel?
The part of a stream that will experience a buildup of sand and gravel is typically the inside bend of a meander, known as a point bar. As water flows around the bend, it slows down, leading to decreased energy and allowing sediment to settle and accumulate. This contrasts with the outside bend, where the current is faster and erosion occurs. Additionally, areas where the stream widens or slows down, such as floodplains, can also experience sediment deposition.
What is an Eskers?
An esker is a long, winding ridge of sand and gravel deposited by a melting glacier. It is typically formed in tunnels within or beneath the ice and can stretch for many kilometers. Eskers are a common feature in glaciated regions.
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.
A meander generally characterizes which type of stream steep stream a young stream a narrow stream or a mature stream?
A mature stream.
What will be deposited first in a stream chanell?
Sediments like sand and gravel are typically deposited first in a stream channel due to their heavier weight and larger size compared to finer particles like silt and clay. These sediments settle out when the stream's velocity decreases, usually in areas with reduced flow or obstacles that disrupt the current.
When a river or stream changes direction what is created?
meander
How many feet are in a meander?
A meander, in general, is a bend in a sinuous watercourse or river. A meander is formed when the moving water in a stream erodes the outer banks and widens its valley.
