Sediments deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake form a(n)?
it is a delta
What are sediments deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake called?
it falls into the ocean and doesn't form anything
What is the wide mouth where the ocean tide meets the river current?
a Delta is a 'wetland' form that is created in the mouth of a river and is formed by sediments carried down by the river and deposited in its mouth. Over millions of years this can form a large flat area, or a tidal mouth, which is covered by the tidal flow of the sea
A large amount of sediments deposited at the mouth of a river form what?
A large amount of sediments deposited at the mouth of a river can form a delta. Deltas are landforms created by the accumulation of sediments carried by the river and deposited as the river's flow slows upon entering a body of water, such as a lake or ocean.
When a river slows down as it reaches the ocean sediments carried by the river are deposited.What kind of land form is created from the sediment?
It is called a delta
Why does a delta form where the river meets the ocean?
the water slows down, causing the sediment to sink
How does Delta form?
As a river flows it picks up sediment and carries it away. When the river reaches the ocean the sediments deposited, over time a delta forms.
How do erosion and deposition work together to form delta?
Erosion carries sediments downstream, depositing them when the flow slows near a river mouth. Deposition builds up sediment, creating a triangular-shaped landform called a delta where the river meets a body of water like an ocean or lake.
Where does a River erode sediment?
sediments are transported by ocean rift, streams, river currents, wind (air). they are deposited according to size. The largest sediments are deposited first. The sediments settle into the sand and are carried by the stream. Near the mouth of the stream where the water moves slowly the small sediments settle out. The larger sediments get carried by the river into the sea then the samller sediments. The sea water dissolved minerals and soak the sediments and cement together. This eventually forms sediments.
The area where a river meets the ocean and contains a mixture of freshwater and saltwater?
Estuaries
Where does alluvial soil form?
Alluvial sediments are those deposited by a river.
How does fine sediments reach the ocean floor?
Fine sediments can reach the ocean floor through various ways, such as river runoff carrying sediment from land, currents transporting sediments offshore, and particles settling from the water column. Once these fine sediments reach the ocean floor, they can accumulate over time to form sediment layers.
