Best Answer

A stream's sediment load is typically deposited, eroded, and redeposited many times in a stream channel, especially during climatic variations such as flooding. Sediments are deposited throughout the length of the stream as bars or floodplain deposits. At the mouth of the stream, the sediments are usually deposited in alluvial fans or deltas, which represent a lower-energy, more "permanent" depositional environment that is less susceptible to changes in the stream flow.

What does the rate of stream discharge has to do with erosion and deposition?

rate of stream discharge is directly proportional to the erosion i.e the higher the velocity of the stream then it will erode the rock rapidly while the deposition process will be slow when the velocity will be high.


Which change in a stream causes deposition?

A stream deposition occurs when, in the lower reaches, the flow of water (speed of flow) is reduced. Which is when the heavier sediment falls out and settles on the river bed.

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