What else can I help you with?
What else do you think rivers carry to the sea besides salt?
sediment
What do rivers Carry?
Rivers carry a variety of materials including sediment, minerals, nutrients, organic matter, and pollutants. The specific composition of what rivers carry depends on factors such as the geology of the region, land use activities, and water flow dynamics.
What are two main sources of sediment that rivers and streams carry?
Silt and clay.
What are the two main sources of the sediment that rivers and streams carry?
The correct answer is silt and clay.
Do rivers deposit sediment when they slow down?
Yes. A slower current cannot carry as much sediment or particles as large as a faster current.
When is the most sediment deposited along the river?
After a heavy rain, or in the spring when the snow melts.
Are there any rivers that deposit and eroded sediments?
Most rivers have eroded and Deposited sediment.
When rivers slow down they drop sediment in a process called?
When rivers slow down, they deposit sediment in a process known as sedimentation or deposition. This happens when the velocity of the water decreases, causing it to lose its capacity to carry the sediment, which then settles on the riverbed or banks.
Where is sediment rock?
Found in most lakes and ponds rivers
What is the most powerful agent of deposition?
Water is typically the most powerful agent of deposition due to its ability to transport and deposit large amounts of sediment. This is especially true for rivers and streams, where flowing water can pick up and carry a variety of sediment sizes.
Do fast moving rivers carry more smaller or larger particlees of sediment?
Fast moving rivers are capable of carrying larger rock particles than slow moving rivers.
Why is a beach more likely to change rapidly if it is placed along a river mouth where there are many winter storms than if it is found along a quiet stretch where there are no rivers and few storms?
Rivers carry sediment, which when deposited at the beach, increases the land. Similarly, rivers can carry sediment away from a beach, also changing its shape. These two forces can work together to effectively move sediment from one area of the beach to another. Similarly, storms also move sediment.
