What else can I help you with?
Occasionally deposition causes the main channel of a stream to divide into several smaller channels called?
The main channel of a stream divides into several smaller creeks. Occasionally, deposition causes the main channel of a stream to divide into several smaller channels called distributaries.
What is it called when long ridges of sediments alongside the channel of a river?
I assume you mean levees, which are caused by deposition from successive floods.
Long ridges of sediment alongside the channel of a river are called?
Levees. They are built up by the deposition of sediment during flood events, which causes the river channel to become elevated above the surrounding floodplain.
What is water flowing downhill is a large channel?
Water flowing downhill in a large channel is called a River. Deposition creates landforms such as alluvial fans and deltas. It can also add soil to a river's fllod plain.
What water flowing downhill in a large channel?
Water flowing downhill in a large channel is called a River. Deposition creates landforms such as alluvial fans and deltas. It can also add soil to a river's fllod plain.
Gas to solid is called?
Deposition or desublimation
What is it called when a solid changes directly into a gas?
It is called sublimation.
What is water flowing downhill in a large channel?

What are smaller earthquakes that follow a large one for several days called?
They are called aftershocks.
When a stream has reached a balance between erosion and deposition it is called what?
When a stream reaches a balance between erosion and deposition, it is called a "graded stream." In this state, the stream has achieved a stable profile, where the energy of the flow is perfectly matched to the sediment load, allowing for a consistent transport of materials without significant changes in channel shape or structure. This equilibrium often results in a smooth, gently sloping channel.
What is the body of water that flows within a channel called?
The body of water that flows within a channel is called a river. Rivers are natural watercourses that typically flow toward oceans, seas, or lakes, and they can vary in size and volume. The channel itself is the landform that contains the flowing water, which is shaped by the river's erosion and deposition processes over time.
The dropping of sediments by any agent of erosion is called?
deposition
