What happens to the load of rocks and soil that a rivers pick up?
The load of rocks and soil picked up by rivers is transported downstream through erosion and sedimentation. Along the way, the rocks and soil can be deposited as sediment, contributing to the formation of riverbanks, deltas, and floodplains. This process plays a critical role in shaping the landscape and maintaining the health of river ecosystems.
What are large rocks transported by?
Large rocks can be transported by natural processes such as glaciers, rivers, and ocean currents. These processes are capable of moving rocks of various sizes over long distances by erosion, deposition, and ice movement.
Why do you find smooth rounded rocks at the sea shore and the rivers?
Sediment carried by the river acts as an abrasive against the rocks on the bottom of the river. Rocks are also continually bounced into each other, which also serves to gradually knock off rough edges, making them smoother and rounder.
How do glaciers and rivers make new rock types?
Glaciers and rivers can erode existing rocks to create sediment. Over time, this sediment can be compacted and cemented together to form new sedimentary rocks. In addition, heat and pressure from tectonic processes can metamorphose existing rocks into new rock types.
Does the oil under the earth flow?
Oil under the earth does not flow like water in a river. It is contained in porous rocks and moves very slowly over time due to the pressure and temperature of the surrounding rocks. The movement of oil is generally through porous rocks and fractures in the Earth's crust.
When it rain so much what happens to dams and rivers?
they over flow
How do sediments get into the water supply?
From rocks in rivers and lakes and when the rocks break up over time the sediments inside the rocks go into the rivers and lakes and overtime into the water supply.
Do rivers flow into their tributaries all over world?
yes
Are there rocks under water?
Yes. That is why some rivers have rapids. Water going over rocks create them.
How many rivers flow in Pakistan and their names?
As of 2013, there are over twenty-five rivers that flow in the country Pakistan. Some of the names of the rivers are Kech River, Dasht River, and the Hub River.
Do rivers flow into there tributes all over the world?
yes
Why is sea water salted?
Sea water is salted due to natural processes such as the weathering of rocks on land, which releases minerals like sodium and chloride into rivers that eventually flow into the ocean. Over time, these minerals accumulate in the ocean, resulting in its salinity.
Can rivers over flow?
What do you mean? Like a flood? Or are you referring to the speed of the current? Yes. Rivers can flood but I hope that's not your question.
What happens to rocks above earths surface over the years?
Rocks get eaten away by weathering and erosion
How many rivers are in Puerto Rico?
There are over 50 rivers that flow through Puerto Rico. The rivers include the Rio de Aibonito, the Rio Angeles, and the Rio Anon.
Why is the rivers not salty?
Rivers are not pure freshwater sources of water. As they flow to the ocean, they pick up small amounts of mineral salts. These slightly-salty rivers flow into the ocean, and as this is a continuous flow and there are thousands of rivers, all the salt builds up, causing the oceans to be saturated with salt. Also, because water evaporates and salt does not, the oceans get saltier over time.
What happens when you over fill the coolant tank?
The car normally pushes it out the over flow.
