What else can I help you with?
Which activity would cause more sediment to be deposited in a river that flows through a gently sloping valley-cultivating the valley or cultivating the hills that surround the valley?
none
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.
When a river slows down what types of sediment will be deposited first why?
The heaviest sediment will always be deposited first. Which sediment is the heaviest in that flowage can vary widely.
What are rocks snd soil deposited by streams called?
they are deposited by sediment
How does speed affect where or how sediments are deposited?
The greater the speed the less sediment deposited. A delta is where a river slows way down and sediment is deposited at the mouth of the river.
Where does sediment end up?
Sediment is generally deposited within basins.
Is fertile sediment considered an alluvium?
Yes, fertile sediment can be considered alluvium. Alluvium refers to loose soil or sediment that has been deposited by rivers or running water, and fertile sediment can be carried and deposited by these processes.
What is process in which sediment is deposited in layers?
Deposition
What is the Process is which sediment is deposited in layers?
Deposition
What does terrigenous sediment consist of?
Terrigenous sediment consists of particles eroded from the Earth's crust, such as sand, silt, and clay. These particles are transported by wind, water, or ice and eventually deposited on the seafloor. Terrigenous sediments are a major component of deep-sea sediment and can provide valuable information about Earth's past climate and tectonic activity.
Can ice carry sediment?
Yes. Glaciers carry large amounts of sediment. When that sediment is deposited it is called glacial till.
