What else can I help you with?
What river caries the most water?
The Amazon River in South America.
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
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.
What is the total quantity of sediment carried by a river?
sediment load
Do the levels and the sediment load increase or decrease as the river ages?
As a river gets older sediment load decreases due to the age of the river and erosion
Can the smaller the load a river has the more sediment it can carry?
The smaller the load a river has the more sediment it can carry is false. When the river has more energy, it is able to carry a larger load, therefore more sediment.
What three affect how fast a river flows and how much sediment it can erode?
A river's slope, volume of flow, and the shape of its streambed all affect how fast the river flows and how much sediment it can erode.
What are the main ways sediment enters a river?
On flood planes the water erodes away the banks of the river. The Eroded dirt and sediment fall into the river.
During a flood a river drops the largest pieces of its sediment on the floodplain close to its normal channel but why?
When a stream floods, it deposits much of the sediment that it carries onto its floodplain
