text: Sediment-laden river flow entering the ocean in well-defined channels loses transporting power where the channels end, and sediment is deposited as the subaqueous delta plain.
text: As the sediments are deposited during flood conditions in the floodplain of a creek, the elevation of the floodplain will be raised.
text: They are caused by sediment, typically silt, that is eroded into a river and carried to its mouth, where the sediment is deposited.
text: The finer sediment (silt, fine sand, and clay) is deposited next.
text: This occurs because, as the river widens at the mouth, the flow slows, and sediment settles out and is deposited.
text: These human activities can increase erosion of uplands, and the resulting sediment then flows downriver and is deposited.
text: The coarsest sediments are deposited first and the finer sediments are carried out further, into the sea.
text: As the sediments are deposited during flood conditions in the floodplain of a creek, the elevation of the floodplain will be raised.
text: Depositional environment: Places where sediments are deposited.
text: Coarse sediment is deposited close to the channel and forms natural levees that help to control future floods, but silt and clay can be carried to the far reaches of the floodplain.
text: coarsest sediment is generally deposited closest to the mountains, and finer sediment can be carried many miles.
text: When a stream's discharge varies frequently and its sediment load is large, the sediment may be deposited to form bars and islands within the main channel.
text: A basin or depression is created, and sediment carried by the stream is deposited here.
text: As more water flows onto the valley and more sediment is deposited, a wide, fan-shaped pile known as an alluvial fan forms.
text: Coarser sediments are therefore deposited very close to the channel.
text: Former coastlines that were equilibrated to this higher sea level indicate that gravely and sandy sediments were deposited.
text: The fan spreads out in a curve in the direction of the flat land as many stream channels move across the curved surface of the alluvial fan, forming and unforming many channels as sediments are deposited.
text: As the water velocity in the wadi drops and water is absorbed into the dry sediment over which it flows, so the sediment, whether it was transported in suspension or by traction, is deposited.
