β 13y agoYes, when the flow of a river slows the sediment is deposited.
The flow of water slows enough for the silt to be deposited.
True
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.
True. When a river slows down, it loses its ability to carry large sediment particles, so it deposits them first. Smaller particles settle later as the energy of the river decreases further.
No, the heavier are deposited first and then the medium ones and lastly the very smallest (sand). This can be seen clearly when you look at what are called out washed plains.

When sediment is deposited at a river's mouth, it forms a delta. Deltas are landforms created by the accumulation of sediment carried by the river and deposited as the river slows down upon reaching a body of water, such as an ocean or lake. Deltas are typically characterized by intricate networks of distributaries and are important areas for wildlife and habitat diversity.
True
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.
This land is called a delta and it is formed by the deposition of sediment carried by the river. The sediment, which includes silt and sand, is deposited when the river water slows down as it enters a larger body of water, causing the sediment to settle out and build up over time. Deltas are typically fertile areas due to the rich soil deposited by the river.
The soil deposited at the mouth of a river is called "alluvium." It is formed from the sediment carried by the river and deposited as the water slows down and spreads out at its mouth. This fertile soil is important for supporting vegetation and agriculture in these areas.
