What processes together form dunes and valleys and deltas?
Erosion and Depositionerosion causes dunes and valleysdepostion causes deltas
Where do deltas usually form?
At the mouth (opening/beginning) of a river.
Where can sediment accumulate?
Sediment can accumulate at the mouths of rivers, usually in the form of deltas.
Does erosion form deltas?
In a way yes, Rivers carry sediment which will eventually build up at the mouth of the river creating a delta. It is the transportation mostly that causes deltas but some could argue that erosion is the weathering and transportation of material. Like I said before in a way you are right
What bodies of water are found on earth?
Oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, creeks, brooks, bays, straits, sounds, gulf, lagoons, ponds, deltas, pools, underground rivers, geysers, puddles, streams, swamps, bogs, lochs...
What types of land features are there?
There are many, including moutains, rivers, oceans, lakes, trenches, cliffs, canyons, mesas, platauos, hills, valleys, ravines, floodplains, deltas, and U-Shaped Valleys.
How are deltas and floodplains similar in development?
They arr both formed by deposition and form near or on a river.
How many floodplains has the nile got?
One, since all the little quasi-deltas are refreshed simultaneously.
What landforms are in the lower course of the river?
Meanders, Ox-bow lakes, Levees, floodplains, deltas or estuaries..... :)
What processes together form dunes and valleys and deltas?
Erosion and Depositionerosion causes dunes and valleysdepostion causes deltas
How do people restore beaches?
They prevent flood waters from damaging the land as they normally would,they prevent deposition of sediment along floodplains and deltas they remove any structures built on floodplains,so when rains are heavy,streams spill over onto the floodplains.
Many early settlements were built near what with fertile soil?
River valleys
What kinds of landforms are created by rivers or streams?
kinds of landforms created by streams or rivers are Deltas, Floodplains,and Aluvial fans
How are deltas different from floodplains?
A delta is created where a river runs into the ocean, whereas a floodplain is only made when a river bursts it's banks and floods low lying ground.
What type of environment does shale come from?
Areas around slow moving water. Places like lagoons, lakes river deltas, and floodplains.
What are some secondary landforms?
A Secondary landform- is a landform created by the erosion and weathering by water, wind, and ice. Some examples are alluvial fans, floodplains, and deltas
What different formations can a river make?
V shaped valleys, meanders, oxbow lakes, gorges, waterfalls rapids & deltas are some.
