deposition occurs
|
when a streams carrying capasity lowers
|
|
|
a streams lowering carrying capasity
|
is usually a result of volume or velocity
|
|
|
a streams carrying capasity is always
|
changing
|
|
|
when a streams carrying capasity declines
|
-some of the streams load stops moving
-and enough sediment is droped off |
|
|
very fine textured materials

|
Alluvium
|
accumulations of stream deposits
|
|
|
Alluvium is frequently found
|
along stream banks and along floors
|
|
|
alluvium causes soil at the floor of streams
|
to be quite fertile
|

|
-inside bends of a stram
-places where channels widen -lower reaches of some streams (especially where water empties into other bodies of water) -behind dams and resivours |
