When the flow of a river slows is the sediment deposited?
Yes, when the flow of a river slows the sediment is deposited.
when the flow of a river does what the sediment is deposited?
The flow of water slows enough for the silt to be deposited.
How a delta forms?
The flow rate of the river slows precipitously at the mouth of the river, and any carried silt drops to the bottom - where it builds up to form a delta.
Describe how a delta forms?
The flow rate of the river slows precipitously at the mouth of the river, and any carried silt drops to the bottom - where it builds up to form a delta.
when a river slows down what does it do to the sediment its carrying?
As a river flow slows, the sediment starts to settle out. The water at the river's edge often has the lowest flow or movement so there will be more sedimentation.
How does turbulence affect the speed of a river?
it slows the streams flow
What happens to a river flow that cause alluvium to be deposited?
The flow of water slows enough for the silt to be deposited.
Which change in a stream causes deposition?
A stream deposition occurs when, in the lower reaches, the flow of water (speed of flow) is reduced. Which is when the heavier sediment falls out and settles on the river bed.
What is a build up of sedimentary particles usually occurring at the mouth of a river?
A delta. The sediment settles there because of the slowing of the river, causing gravity to overpower the momentum of the flow of water.
What forms when water drains from the land and flow downhill to the sea?
river

What river forms part of the border between 2 northwestern states and flow to the pacific?
