Its sediment when II meets with
some obstruction which temporarily
slows it up. These deposits are
known as bars. They are not perma-
nent. A bar will form for time.
Then some change in conditions will
cause it to be swept away again
while a new bar forms somewhere
else.
Another type of deposit occurs
where river flows through wide
fiat valley. During flood season,
the river will overflow its banks and
spread out over the valley. But the
outer reaches of the food will not
have a velocity like the central por-
ton of the stream.
Consequently the sediment will be
deposited there and after the fool
recedes the valley will be covered
with a thick layer of sediment. This
is known as flood plain. These
flood plains are usually composed of
very fine sediment. AS a result, they
usually form fertile tracts of land
which are extremely valuable for
agricultural purposes.

The behavior of rivers is a fas-

The speed of a river will frequent

land through which it flows.

tumbling down a mountain slope and
then enter a fiat plain. This causes
a great change in the velocity of the
river AS the river slows up upon
the plain, it can no longer carry all
the sediment which it has been bring
