It will start to deposit it's load when the gradient starts to become shallower which will cause a decrease in energy and so a reduction in ability to transport sediment load.

When is a stream likely to meander?

All streams meander to some extent. The most likely time is when flow is consistent and gradient is uniform. See Braided Stream. When a stream has eroded the steep valleys to genteler slopes, the stream flows more slowly.Now water in the stream erodes along the sides of the stream bed rather than along the stream bottom. === ===


What stream load has gravel and rocks?

A stream with gravel and rocks typically has a higher sediment load. The presence of gravel and rocks indicates that the stream has the ability to transport larger particles, which increases its sediment load compared to streams with smaller particles like sand or silt.


Which element would be most likely to appear in a modernist novel?

Stream-of-consciousness writing, fragmented narrative structure, and a focus on internal thoughts and emotions would be elements most likely to appear in a modernist novel.


Which sedimentary rock is most likely to have been deposited in every high energy stream?

The sedimentary rock most likely to have been deposited in high-energy streams is conglomerate. Conglomerate is composed of larger, rounded clasts that are typically transported and deposited by strong currents, indicating high-energy environments. The presence of these larger particles suggests a dynamic setting where water flow is sufficient to carry and deposit such materials. This rock type is commonly found in riverbeds and areas with significant water movement.

How can a stream both erode and deposit sediments?

Erosion occurs where the stream has most energy, and deposition where it has least. This occurs as the amount of energy is not uniform across it's width.

A deposit of rock particles that are scratched and unsorted has most likely been transported and deposited by what?

The deposit is most likely transported and deposited by a glacier. Glaciers are massive sheets of ice that can carry rock particles long distances and leave behind unsorted and scratched deposits as they melt and retreat. This process is known as glacial deposition.

How and where a delta is form?

A delta is when a stream or river reaches a large body of water, such as a lake or ocean or stream, it slows down. Most of the sediment drops out, forming a triangular- shaped deposit called delta.- 6th- grade :)
