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.
Where in a meander does a river erode sediment and where does it deposit sediment?
In a meander, a river erodes sediment on the outer bank of the bend, where the water flows faster and exerts greater force on the bank. Conversely, sediment is deposited on the inner bank of the bend, where the water flows more slowly, allowing particles to settle. This process creates a distinctive pattern of erosion and deposition that shapes the river's channel over time.
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".
What happens to the ability of a river to erode land under it if its slope decreases.Why?
As the slope of a river decreases, its ability to erode the land beneath it also diminishes. This is because a gentler slope results in lower water velocity, reducing the river's energy and capacity to transport sediment and erode the riverbed. Consequently, sediment deposition may increase, leading to a more stable river channel. Overall, lower slopes tend to promote sediment accumulation rather than erosion.
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
