The River Tees primarily carries a mix of sediment types, including sand, silt, and clay. The sediment composition varies along its course, with finer materials found in the upper reaches and coarser sediments, like gravel, in the lower sections. The river also transports eroded materials from the surrounding landscape, contributing to its sediment load. In its estuarine area, the river deposits these sediments, creating mudflats and estuarine habitats.

How does the river tees shape the land?
River tees shapes the land because it has may landforms that can do it such as waterfalls, meanders and v-shaped valleys. Not only this, but due to the usage of the lake to the general pubilc, the river is being overused.
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.
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
when the flow of a river does what the sediment is deposited?
The flow of water slows enough for the silt to be deposited.
Why does the river tees not end in a delta?
The river tees is not a delta as the north sea (the sea it drains into) is tidal, meaning that the tides wash away the sediment that cause deltas.

Is the River Tees a physical or Human feature ?The river tees is a physical feature because the earth and nature created not humans or other people.
How is a spur formed in the river tees?
A spur in the River Tees is formed through the process of river erosion and meandering. As the river flows, it erodes the outer banks of bends due to faster water flow, while sediment accumulates on the inner banks where the flow is slower. This creates a protrusion or spur of land that juts out into the river. Over time, continued erosion and deposition shape the landscape, reinforcing the formation of the spur.
