What else can I help you with?
Sediments deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake form a(n)?
it is a delta
What is the relationship between the distance from a river delta into the ocean and the size of sediments deposited on the ocean floor?
The further from the delta, the finer the sediments deposited.
Sediment deposited where a river flows into an ocean?
yes it is called a delta
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.
Most river sediments are deposited?
They are deposited at the river mouth, before it finally empties its water into the ocean.
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.
How are ridges formed on the ocean floor?
Ocean current paths of travel, underwater volcanoes, tectonic plate movement, depends which specific ridges you are talking about.
What sediment deposited where a river flows into a ocean or lake?
A delta.
Is formed when sediment is deposited where a river flows into an ocean?
A "Delta".
Is an alluvial fan the same name for a delta?
No, Sediments deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake builds up a land form called a delta. An alluvial fan is a wide, sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range.
What is formed when sediment is deposited where a river flows into an ocean?
You could be thinking of a delta or abyssal plains.
Where are most river sediments deposited?
Most river sediments are deposited at the mouth of the river, where it meets a body of water such as a lake or ocean. The sediment settles due to the decrease in water velocity as the river enters a larger body of water, causing it to drop the sediments it was carrying.
