deposition Flashcards
1
Q
when does it occur?
A
when sediment becomes too heavy for the water to carry or if wave loses energy
2
Q
high-energy coastlines continue to transport smaller sediment so…
A
lurer rocks and shingle are deposited in these environments
3
Q
what kind of sediment do low-energy coastlines have?
A
much smaller - only deposited in these areas where there is mud lower water velocity
4
Q
what does deposition include?
A
gravity setteling and flocculation
