What else can I help you with?
What are two different sources for sediments in general?
Rivers and continental crust to continental crust.
In what general direction do the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers flow on their way to the Persian gulf?
southeast
Since humans have been present the amount of sediments carried by rivers has?
Since human appeared, the amount of sediments carried by rivers has increased dramatically
Are there any rivers that deposit and eroded sediments?
Most rivers have eroded and Deposited sediment.
Do slow rivers carry more sediments?
yes
What is the material that is dropped from streams rivers and lakes?
Sediments.
What is a force is responsible for a rivers capability to move sediments?
The force that is responsible for moving sediments in a river is the current.
How do sediments get into the water supply?
From rocks in rivers and lakes and when the rocks break up over time the sediments inside the rocks go into the rivers and lakes and overtime into the water supply.
What is the process that carries sediments into rivers?
The process that carries sediments into rivers is called erosion. Erosion occurs when weathering and other factors break down rocks and soil, which are then transported by water, wind, or ice and deposited into rivers.
How can rivers change the landscape?
Rivers can change the landscape through erosion, transportation of sediments, and deposition. Over time, rivers can carve out valleys, create deltas, and form floodplains. Their continuous movement of water and sediments shapes the land around them.
Where are rock sediments usually deposited in nature?
Rock sediments are deposited at the bottom of a body of water, such as a river or lake. When the flow of water changes direction, the sediment has different momentum, so it does not change direction as fast, and it will collide with the river bank and then settle. Another way is when a river widens or enters a lake, the flow rate decreases, so the particles fall to the bottom. This can also be seen at a delta region when a river meets a gulf or ocean. The Mississippi Delta region in Louisiana the Gulf of Mexico is a good example of this.
Since the existence of humans the amount of sediments carried by rivers has .?
It has remained unchanged for most of the time. It is only in recent years that the diversion of water from rivers has changed river flows. In general the flow has reduced so that sedimentation happens further upstream.
