What else can I help you with?
What do you call the land on each side of the river where sediment has been deposited?
the bank of a river
What do you call a material deposited on a filter?
I would call it a sediment.
What do you call a fan shaped area of fertile land?
A fan-shaped area of fertile land is typically called a "alluvial fan." It forms when a river slows down and spreads out as it exits a mountainous region, depositing sediment in a cone or fan shape. This fertile land is often suitable for agriculture due to the rich nutrients in the sediment.
What do you call areas of deposited sand or silt on river bends?
sand bars
Why did the ancient Egyptians call the river Nile ar or aur?

What do you call the soil of soil erosion?
The soil that is lost due to erosion is called sediment. Sediment can be carried away by water, wind, or ice, leading to a loss of fertile soil and degradation of land quality.
What do you call erosion and sediment by wind?
Wind erosion and sediment transport by wind.
Why is there sand at the bottom of many river beds?
The abrasion and attrition combined with hydraulic action on the river bed and the river banks erode away the underlying rock which results in small grains of rock we call sand. Depending on the speed of the river and the size of the particles, the sand will be deposited by the river at different stages (usually though it is found near the mouth of the river).
What do you call fertile loam?
loess
What do you call the substance that settles in a suspention?
sediment
What do you call the area where the shoreline is made up of material deposited by waves?
Much of the coarser sediment material supplied by rivers settles out near shorelines or on beaches.
What do you call bits of soil removed by erosion?
You call the bits of soil sediment.
