What is stream deposition?
A stream's sediment load is typically deposited, eroded, and redeposited many times in a stream channel, especially during climatic variations such as flooding. Sediments are deposited throughout the length of the stream as bars or floodplain deposits. At the mouth of the stream, the sediments are usually deposited in alluvial fans or deltas, which represent a lower-energy, more "permanent" depositional environment that is less susceptible to changes in the stream flow. i got this from clift notes
Which change at a particular location in a stream usually causes more sediments to be deposited at a location?
Decrease in stream velocity

How could you distinguish a layer of sedimentary rock created close to the head of a stream from one created near the stream's mouth?
The sedimentary rock from the stream mouth will contain more marine fossils (i.e. any at all) and will be composed of finer grains (as they are eroded during passage in the stream and as the stream gets closer to the sea or a lake it will tend to become wider and have a lower flow velocity meaning it has less energy to transport sediment meaning that the larger particles will have been deposited further up the stream nearer it's head). The rock from the stream head will have coarser grains and a lack of any marine fossils. Other indicators may be used depending on the specific rock type.
In a stream channel what sediment is deposited first?
gravel sized particles
A lode is a layer of minerals that has been deposited in a stream bed True or False?
This is false. A lode is not a layer of minerals that has been deposited in a stream. A lode is formed by hot mineral solutions going into the cracks of the rocks.

Levees and regoliths.
What is the general term for any well sorted stream-deposited sediment?
Sedimentation.
What is the fan-shaped mass of sediment deposited by a stream into an ocean or a lake?
