What are fine bits of rock and soil deposited on land by a river?
Sediments, such as sand, silt, and clay, are fine bits of rock and soil that are deposited on land by a river. These sediments are carried by the river's current and then settle on the river banks and floodplains when the water slows down. Over time, these sediments contribute to the formation of fertile soil and landforms in river valleys.
Is a river rock a sedimantary rock a igneous rock or a metamorphic rock?
A river rock can be any type of rock, including sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic. It depends on the geology of the area where the river rock was sourced from and subsequently deposited.
What kind of rock is formed loose rocks and dirt are transported and re-deposited.?
Sedimentary rock is formed when loose rocks and dirt are transported and re-deposited. This process can happen through erosion, transportation by wind or water, and eventual deposition in layers that solidify over time to form sedimentary rock. Examples include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
How are a moraine and an erratic different?

What do you call a fertile sediment deposited by a river?
The material deposited by a river is called sediment. The bits of organic debris such as leaves and stems is detritus. Sediment includes detritus, inorganic material such as pebbles, sand, clay and other rock bits.
The material made up of clay and bits of black soil and rock carried by the nile river and deposited in the delta is called?
Silt.
Tiny bits of rock and dirt that build up on the bottoms of rivers and lakes are?
sediments. These sediments can vary in size from silt to pebbles, and they are carried by the flow of water and deposited on the river or lake bed. Over time, sediments can accumulate and create features such as deltas or riverbanks.
What do most soils begin as?
They start as tiny bits of rock and turn to dirt with nutrients.
