The Amazon River carries away approximately 1.5 billion metric tons of sediment each year, much of which originates from the erosion of the Andes Mountains. This sediment transport plays a crucial role in shaping the river's ecosystem and surrounding landscapes. The sediment load is influenced by various factors, including rainfall, topography, and land use in the Andes region.
Large flat surfaces that sediment settles are called deltas. A delta is at the mouth of a river. It is formed when there is so much sediment that the waves and tides can't carry it away.
300 million tons of sediment each year
The velocity of the flowing water is the primary factor that determines how much sediment it can carry. Higher velocity can transport larger and heavier particles, while lower velocity can only carry finer sediments.
Yes. A slower current cannot carry as much sediment or particles as large as a faster current.

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.
It is because if a stream gets bigger, it is allowed to carry more sediment. More sediment means more erosion.
When a stream floods, it deposits much of the sediment that it carries onto its floodplain
Rivers are generally much wider at their mouths and this means the water speed is much less than further upstream. The result is that sediment is maintained in suspension less and therefore settles out.
