Deposition creates landforms such as alluvial fans and deltas.It can also add soil to a river.

What is traction type of deposition?

Traction deposition involves the transport and deposition of sediment by the movement of wind or water. It occurs when the energy of the wind or water is strong enough to move particles along the bed of a river, stream, or shoreline, and deposit them when the energy decreases. This type of deposition typically results in the formation of well-sorted, coarse-grained sedimentary deposits.

What could happen in nature to increase or decrease the slope of a stream?

An increase in rainfall can increase the slope of a stream by eroding the surrounding land and steepening the riverbanks. Conversely, a decrease in rainfall or the deposition of sediment along the streambed can decrease the slope of a stream by smoothing out its gradient.


How is the flow of stream affected by erosion and deposition?

cilt and dirt and also rocks can settle along a stream. over time this can effect the dimmessions of the stream. deposition would be the depositing of rocks dirt and cilt or the settling of these materials. this could make the walls closer in or the depth to become smaller ultimately makeing the stream smaller, allowing less water to flow.


What is a stream that has channel with many curves?

A meandering stream is a type of stream with many curves in its path. These curves are caused by erosion and deposition processes along the stream's course, resulting in a winding and zigzagging flow pattern. Meandering streams are common in flat or gently sloping landscapes.


What is the base level of a stream?

What does floodpain mean?

flat land area adjacent to a stream, composed of unconsolidated sedimentary deposits (alluvium) and subject to periodic inundation by the stream. Floodplains are produced by lateral movement of a stream and by overbank deposition; therefore they are absent where downcutting is dominant. Any erosional widening of one bank is approximately equalled by deposition on the opposite side of the channel in the form of bar development along the inside of meander bends. Thus, the simplest floodplain is made up of a strip of sinuous scrolls immediately adjacent to the stream.
