Question
when a river enters a large body of water, the water generally slows down and deposits amounts of sediments. true false
Brief Explanations
When a river enters a large body of water like an ocean or a lake, the velocity of the river - water decreases due to the larger cross - sectional area and the resistance offered by the still water. As the water slows down, its ability to carry sediments (silt, sand, clay etc.) also decreases, and these sediments are deposited. This is a common geological process.
