Flood plain clays are considered "massive," a term used to describe clays without a bedform, which is the arrangement of particles of sediment.
Clays found in lakes are "laminate," whcih means that they are usuallypretty uniformly thick, and lay flat on the bottom of a body of still water with little to no current.

When are sediments transported by a river deposited?
Sediments carried by a river are typically deposited when the river's velocity decreases, such as in areas with gentle slopes, bends, or at the river's mouth where it meets a body of standing water like a lake or ocean. This decrease in velocity results in sediment settling out of the flow and accumulating on the riverbed.
Where is silt and soil deposited?
Silt and soil are typically deposited in areas near water sources such as rivers, streams, and lakes. They settle in these areas due to the action of water carrying and depositing sediment as it flows. This process is known as sedimentation.
Which term describes the annual layers of sediment deposited in lakes and fjords by meltwater from glaciers?
An annually deposited sedimentary layer is called a varve. Originally the word referred only to those annual layers of sediment deposited in a lake by glaciers, but now the more general use is accepted. Another term used in the literature is "annually laminated."
How are sedimentary rocks deposited in the Earth's crust?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments, like sand or mud, are deposited and compressed over time. This process typically occurs in bodies of water, such as oceans or lakes, where the sediments settle and eventually harden into rock layers.
Where does the sediment end up?
Sediment can end up in various places such as riverbeds, lakes, oceans, or on land. It is often deposited in layers over time, where it may become compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
