Why do the particles carried by a river settle to the bottom as the river enters the ocean?
more dense
flattened clay particles
low density, small size, and flattened sh
The velocity of the river water decreases as it enters the ocean.
clay
a decrease in the speed of the agent of erosion occurs
high density and round shape
more rapidly
Which particles are the last to settle as a river's velocity decreases?
more dense
flattened clay particles
low density, small size, and flattened sh
The velocity of the river water decreases as it enters the ocean.
