What large boulders carried along by a river?
Large boulders and smaller rocks can be carried by a river. When rocks and sediment are displaced, it's called erosion.
What are dirt rocks or sand carried by a river called?
deposition
What we called fine sand soil or mud which is carried alnog by river?
Sediment is dirt, rocks, and sand carried by a river.
How can large rock be transported in a river?
Large boulders and smaller rocks can be carried by a river. When rocks and sediment are displaced, it's called erosion.
What name is given to the rock material carried away by a river?
The rock material carried away by a river is called sediment.
What is the transportation that drags large rocks along the river bed called?
dredging?
Rocks carried by the river smash together and break into smaller pieces This process is called?
Abrasion. (~the process of scraping or wearing away)
What happens to a river?
Sediment and small rocks are carried down in the river and are deposited.
What is rocks and soil recently deposited by a river?
Recent deposits by a river are known as alluvium, which can include a mix of rocks, gravel, sand, silt, and clay. These materials are carried by the river's current and eventually deposited along its banks or floodplains.
What is meant by a river's load and describe how the load is carried?
A river's load refers to the materials, such as sediment, rocks, and organic matter, that the river transports along its course. This load can be carried in several ways: dissolved load (minerals dissolved in water), suspended load (particles carried within the water column), and bed load (larger particles that roll or slide along the riverbed). The river's velocity and flow determine how much and what type of load can be carried, with faster flows able to transport larger particles.
Why does most erosion occur along the bottom of the river?
rocks are there
What is it called for rubbing away like when rocks are swept along by a river?
The process you are describing is called erosion. Erosion occurs when rocks or soil are gradually worn away by natural forces such as water, wind, or ice.
