What else can I help you with?
Why would the volume of a river affect its ability to erode sediment?
How deep it is and how fast it is going downhill that can also affect it
What factors affect a river's ability to erode and carry sediment?
Factors that affect a river's ability to erode and carry sediment include velocity of the water flow, volume of water, slope of the riverbed, geology of the surrounding area, and the presence of vegetation or obstructions along the river's path. High velocity and volume of water, steep slopes, soft rock formations, and minimal vegetation can increase erosion and sediment transport capacity.
What sediment deposited where a river flows into a ocean or lake?
A delta.
Is formed when sediment is deposited where a river flows into an ocean?
A "Delta".
Which situation is MOST likely to cause a river to deposit all its sediment?
The river flows into a lake
How does water erode a canyon?
water erodes a canyon by carrying sediment from the rock walls down the river
When a river flows over a flat surface like a plateau erosion may occur true or false?
True. When a river flows over a flat surface like a plateau, the water may carry sediment and erode the land, shaping the terrain over time. This erosion is a natural process that can create valleys and canyons.
What is the cause of a river dropping sediment?
The water flows over a water fall
How a fossil forms in sediment?
When a river flows into a lake or ocean, the sediments that the river carries settle to the bottom. Layers of sediment may covor the dead organism.
What are three affect how fast a river flows?
the three factors that affect how fast a river flows is the steep ,width and depth and how it is curved
When do streams erode sediment?
Streams erode sediment primarily during times of high flow or flood events when the velocity and volume of water are increased. The force of the water helps carry and transport sediment downstream, causing erosion along the streambed and banks. Wind and ice can also contribute to sediment erosion in streams.
What are three factors affect how fast a river flows?
the three factors that affect how fast a river flows is the steep ,width and depth and how it is curved
