What else can I help you with?
When alluvium accumulates as a long curving deposit of sediment on the inside of a stream meander it is called?
Point Bar
When is a stream most likely to deposit the rock and soil that its carrying?
A stream is most likely to deposit the rock and soil it is carrying when its velocity decreases, such as in a meander or where the gradient lessens. This allows the stream to no longer have enough energy to transport the sediment, leading to deposition.
Where is deposition dominant in a stream?
Deposition is dominant in areas of a stream where the flow rate decreases, such as at the inner bends of a meander or near the mouth of the stream where it enters a larger body of water. In these locations, the stream has less energy to transport sediment, leading to deposition of the sediment it is carrying.
Why is the point bar on the inside of a meandering stream?
A point bar is formed on the inside of a meandering stream because the water flow slows down on the inside of the bend, causing the water to deposit sediment. This deposition of sediment builds up over time, creating a point bar.
What is a meander and moraine?
A moraine is a place of deposition for a glacier. It contains unsorted till, or sediment. A meander is a type of stream. It is a long curvey stream that moves slowley. Meaders are found in plain type areas
Where will deposition occur the most at a meander of a stream?
Deposition in a meander of a stream occurs most prominently on the inside bend of the meander. Here, the flow of water is slower, allowing sediment to settle and accumulate. As the water curves, the outer bank experiences erosion due to faster flowing water, while the inner bank builds up with deposited materials. This dynamic leads to the formation of point bars on the inside bends.
What is the process that takes place at the inside of a stream mender?
i think you mean stream meander. the process is deposition
Pile of sand or gravel deposited by a stream inside the meander?
Levees and regoliths.
What could cause a stream to deposit the sediment?
A decrease in stream velocity due to factors such as a decrease in slope or widening of the stream channel can cause sediment to be deposited. When the stream's capacity to transport sediment is exceeded, it drops the sediment it was carrying. Additionally, changes in the stream's flow rate or turbulence levels can also result in sediment deposition.
What is A depositional feature that forms where a stream enters a lake or ocean?
A meander. <-------NovaNet wrong your answer miss or mister novanet ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The absolutely best answer is "a delta " cause a delta is a n accumulation of sediment formed where a stream enters a lake or ocean....:-)hismejohn
Where a stream leaves a mountain range is a wide sloping deposit of sediment?
Alluvial fan
What is a wide sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain?
it's a delta!
