Ganges
What else can I help you with?
How did the physical barriers influence the development of civilization India and china?
The Ganges River carries sediment { bits of earth and sand } from the Himalayas to the northern plains. As the river passes through the plains, it leaves the rich sediment behind. As a result, the northern plains contains some of the most fertile farmland in the world.
Why is River Ganges in India a sacred river?
because it is the bigest river in India
What is the longest and widest river in India?
longest river of india is krishna widest river of india is ganges
Where are braided channel?
Braided channels are typically found in river systems characterized by a high sediment load and variable water flow. These channels consist of multiple intertwining streams or channels that split and rejoin, creating a network resembling braids. Common locations for braided channels include alpine rivers, glacial river systems, and areas with steep gradients where sediment is rapidly eroded and transported. Notable examples can be seen in places like the Brahmaputra River in India and the Yukon River in Canada.
What river forms the border between India and kuntukey?
the river that forms the border between India and Kentucky is the Mississippi River.
What a delta?
A delta is a triangular deposit of sediment at the end of a river or stream. It happens when the strong current of the river slows down and deposits the sediments it has been transporting.
What causes a river to deposit sediment?
Most sediment washes or falls into a river as a result of mass movement and runoff. Other sediment erodes from the bottom or sides of the river. Wind can also drop sediment into the water. Hope I helped! -DorkyGeek77
What is a carrying sediment?
A carrying sediment is a material in motion within a river, stream, or ocean that is transporting particles such as sand, silt, or mud. This sediment is picked up and moved by the flow of water or wind, aiding in erosion and deposition processes in various environments.
Which rivers carry the most sediment?
The Brahmaputra of India and Tibet carries more sediment than any river in our world, including the "Big Muddy" Mississipi, the long Nile, or the river with the largest volume, the Amazon
Flow regime refers to?
A flow regime of a river is essentially a statistical summary of how flows in a river vary over time. the amount of water and the rate of flowing water a river carries.
Which only has sediment buildup?
A river typically has sediment buildup as it carries sediments eroded from its surroundings to deposit along its bed and banks. Over time, this accumulation of sediment can affect the river's depth and flow dynamics, potentially leading to issues like flooding or changes in habitat.
Why is the Betsiboka river orange?
Due to the sediment within the river. this sediment causes the river to appear orange/reddish
What is the quantity of sediment carried by a river?
sediment load
During the rock cycle rocks get broken apart by weathering carried along by erosion and eventually deposited in a body of water What happens next?
It depends on where the sediment is deposited. Not all sediment is deposited in a body of water. If the transport mechanism is a stream then the sediment can be deposited on the flood plain of the river or in a lake. If the sediment is deposited on the flood plain it will do two things. 1) The sediment of the flood plain will eventually lithify and 2) The river will continue to down cut and after X number of years the flood plain will no longer be subject to the flood waters of the river. At this point it is classified as a terrace (a flood plain of the past that is no longer inundated by flood water). The cycle basically starts over at this point with weathering and erosion processes breaking down and transporting the terrace sediment back into the river. If the sediment is transported to a lake, a delta will form. As the sediment is deposited in the lake the main channel of the river will extend out into the lake, this lowers the gradient of the main channel which slows the flow of water through the channel and allows for the deposition of sediment in the channel. When the main channel fills with sediment and no longer has the ability to channel all of the water from the river, dis-tributary channels will form these dis- tributary channels migrate across the delta transporting sediment as they go. Lithification takes place in the lower layers of the delta but this lithified sediment is only subjected to erosion during very high flows that are capable of transporting the sediment that covers the lithified layers.Basically, no matter where the sediment is deposited, it is subject to the processes which weathered and transported it to its current location.Wow really? these guys are just looking for a basic answer not an essay
Does an old or young river deposit more sediment?
an older river deposits more sediment.
When the flow of a river slows is the sediment deposited?
Yes, when the flow of a river slows the sediment is deposited.
The smaller the load a river has the more sediment it can carry?
Actually, the larger the load a river has, the more sediment it can carry. A river's capacity to transport sediment is often determined by factors like its velocity and volume of water flow. When a river has a larger load, it can transport more sediment downstream.
