The river drops the heaviest material first.
No it doesn't. It gets faster due to an increased discharge from tributary rivers and smaller streams joining.

What a delta?
A delta is a triangular deposit of sediment at the end of a river or stream. It happens when the strong current of the river slows down and deposits the sediments it has been transporting.
What happens to the speed of a river as it approaches the ocean?
it slows down
How does a river's speed affect its erosive ability?
Along with friction, turbulence slows the stream's flow and may also erode the stream.
What happens when a stream slows down?
When a stream slows down, sediment that was previously being carried by the flow may begin to settle and accumulate on the streambed. This can lead to the formation of bars and pools within the stream channel. Additionally, slower flow rates can reduce the stream's ability to transport particles and nutrients downstream, affecting the overall ecosystem of the stream.
How and where a delta is form?
A delta is when a stream or river reaches a large body of water, such as a lake or ocean or stream, it slows down. Most of the sediment drops out, forming a triangular- shaped deposit called delta.- 6th- grade :)
How does turbulence affect the speed of a river and a rivers power to cause erosion?
Along with friction, turbulence slows down the waters flow and also may erode the stream bed
How do streams change as they flow mountains down to plains?
The stream slows down and spreads out on the flatter ground
Does a stream from mountains get faster or slower as it continues?
It depends on the topography of the land. Generally,however, the stream slows down as the stream moves away from the mountains.
What happens to your breathing when resting?
It usually slows down
What happens when a meteorite experiences drag?
It slows down.
Why does delta often form where a river meets the ocean?
Because water slows down and sediment drops to the bottom
when a river slows down what does it do to the sediment its carrying?
As a river flow slows, the sediment starts to settle out. The water at the river's edge often has the lowest flow or movement so there will be more sedimentation.
