Write short notes on:The Process of deposition |
|
Answer» 1. The velocity at which the agent is moving has a great impact on deposition. 2. If the stream or wind slows down, the carrying capacity and the particle sizes carried and deposited will decrease. 3. If a stream flows faster, say during floods or when the river is in the mountains, then the carrying power of the stream and the sizes of particles deposited will increase. 4. If there is a change in the slope of land or in the direction of flow, deposition may occur there. 5. The slopes are absent in the plain region. Therefore, the rivers are unable to carry the sediments further and they start depositing. 6. Due to gravity, small particles settle more slowly than the larger particles. Smaller particles are carried away by the river or wind till the end and their deposition occurs in the later stage. 7. If an obstacle comes in between the flow of the agent it causes the particles to settle and thus deposition takes place. |
