What else can I help you with?
What are levees?
levees are artificial or natural slopes or walls to prevent flooding of a river.
What is a term for a natural or artificial embankment that helps control flooding along a river?
SOIL
A sentence with the word levees?
The river is surrounded by levees and pumps.
Are levees structures built out into a river to cause channel deepening?
No, Levees are things put on the side of a river to stop it from overflowing.
Who controls the Huang He river?
Levees control the Huang River
What were the artificial embankments built along a river to control flooding?
The embankments are called levees. When the levees around New Orleans failed during and after Hurricane Katrina it led to catastrophic flooding. Note that money had been allocated for work on the levees prior to that but it was decided to use it to improve the roads on top of the levees which, technically, was an "improvement" but one wonders how it would have all played out if it had instead been used to improve the strength of those those levees prior to Katrina.
What are Levees are used to?
levees are used to prevent flooding of a river to the adjoing country-basically prevent flooding.

Ridges of land where a river winds?
These are called meanders. Meanders are loop-like bends in the course of a river formed by erosion and deposition processes that occur as the river flows over the landscape, causing it to curve and twist. They are a common feature of mature rivers.
Is quartz resistant to weathering and is it an important component of sands in river beds?
Yes, quartz is resistant to weathering and is one of the most abundant minerals in Earth's crust. It is a major component of sands found in river beds due to its hardness and resistance to erosion, making it a significant contributor to sedimentary deposits formed by weathering and erosion processes.
What water disasters can you get?
Obviously the main answer to this is Flooding. This can be caused by Tsunami in exceptional circumstances. River erosion may cause damage to the banks of a river, especially when Levees burst. Water is irresistably powerful, the effects of the sea shape the land over the passage of time, both as in River systems & Coastline.
Describe and explain the formation of levees?
Levees are natural or artificial embankments that form along riverbanks due to sediment deposition during flood events. When a river overflows its banks, the velocity of the water decreases, causing sediment carried by the flow to settle along the edges, gradually building up raised barriers. Over time, repeated flooding and sediment deposition can result in the formation of substantial levees. These structures help to contain river water within its channel and reduce flood risk to surrounding areas.
