What else can I help you with?
What we called fine sand soil or mud which is carried alnog by river?
Sediment is dirt, rocks, and sand carried by a river.
What is a deposit that forms where a river leaves a mountain range called?
A deposit that forms where a river leaves a mountain range is called an alluvial fan. This fan-shaped deposit is created as the river slows down and deposits sediment and debris that it has carried from the mountains.
What is the name of the process by which the material carried by a stream or river settles is dropped?
The process by which the material carried by a stream or river settles or is dropped is called deposition. This occurs when the velocity of the water decreases, causing it to lose the energy needed to carry sediment, which then settles to the riverbed.
What is deposition of sediment outside the banks of a river?
When sediment is deposited outside the banks of a river, it forms landforms known as levees. Levees are elevated embankments that help to prevent flooding by containing the river within its channel. They are created through the accumulation of sediments carried by the river during times of high flow.
What is the the area that is covered with sediment when a river repeatedly overflows its banks?
The area that is covered with sediment when a river repeatedly overflows its banks is known as a floodplain. This flat, low-lying area adjacent to a river is created by the deposition of sediment carried by the floodwaters. Floodplains are vital for agriculture, as the nutrient-rich sediment left behind by floods makes the soil fertile for crops.
What is the quantity of sediment carried by a river?
sediment load
What is the total quantity of sediment carried by a river?
sediment load
What we called fine sand soil or mud which is carried alnog by river?
Sediment is dirt, rocks, and sand carried by a river.
What are small rocks carried along by a river called?
sediment
What is it called when sediment cannot be carried anymore?
By a river? Deposition.
What is sediment carried by the river that collect's at the rivers mouth called?
The sediment itself is called silt, and it often is deposited at the mouth of rivers and forms a landform called a river delta.
What large boulders carried along by a river?
Large boulders and smaller rocks can be carried by a river. When rocks and sediment are displaced, it's called erosion.
What name is given to the rock material carried away by a river?
The rock material carried away by a river is called sediment.
When a river slows down as it reaches the ocean sediments carried by the river are deposited.What kind of land form is created from the sediment?
It is called a delta
What happens to a river?
Sediment and small rocks are carried down in the river and are deposited.
What is the build-up of sand and mud deposits at the mouth of a river called?
That is called a delta. Deltas form when sediment carried by the river is deposited due to reduced water flow or when it meets another body of water, causing the sediment to settle and accumulate over time.
How can large rock be transported in a river?
Large boulders and smaller rocks can be carried by a river. When rocks and sediment are displaced, it's called erosion.
