A stream deposition occurs when, in the lower reaches, the flow of water (speed of flow) is reduced. Which is when the heavier sediment falls out and settles on the river bed.

Explain how stream deposition occurs?

Stream deposition occurs when a flowing stream loses energy, causing it to slow down and deposit sediment that it was previously carrying. This commonly occurs when the stream enters a flatter area, like a floodplain or a lake. As the stream's velocity decreases, it can no longer transport sediment, leading to deposition.


What causes a stream to meander?

A stream meanders due to a combination of factors such as the flow of water, the slope of the land, and the type of sediment in the streambed. Erosion and deposition processes also play a role in shaping the curves and bends of a meandering stream.
