the gradient
It drops the material. This is called deposition :)
It is simply called tributaries.... +2348129212358
When a river deposits soil, it is called sedimentation. Sedimentation occurs when the speed of the flowing water decreases, causing it to drop the sediments it was carrying.
The Zambezi River
Moving water drops sediments it is carrying when its velocity slows down. This can happen when the water enters a wider channel, encounters obstacles like rocks or vegetation, or when the gradient of the river decreases, allowing sediments to settle out of suspension.
Tiny drops are called droplets.
Drops of water are called droplets.
The carrying capacity of a river refers to the maximum amount of sediment or material that the river can transport downstream. It is influenced by factors such as the river's flow rate, sediment load, and channel characteristics. Exceeding the carrying capacity can result in erosion or sediment deposition, impacting river ecosystems and infrastructure.

Erosion occurs in meanders and fast flowing parts of the river. Deposition occurs when the flow is too slow to carry the particles so drops the dirt and soil it is carrying. Deposition also occurs on the inside of a meander, which is why the meander stays the same width, but moves about.
