The 14 pages that link to Sediment deposition, each with the reason it gives.

• River deltaRelated: As river flow slows at its mouth, suspended sediment settles and builds delta land.

• Longshore driftRelated: Changes in wave energy or shoreline shape make longshore-transported sediment settle out.

• Trace fossilRelated: Rapid deposition can cover and protect tracks or burrows before they are erased.

• Niger DeltaRelated: Deposited river sediment built the delta's land and continues to alter its channels.

• AvulsionRelated: Deposition can raise channel beds and obstruct established routes.

• SedimentologyRelated: Deposition creates the layers and bodies sedimentologists interpret.

• Fluvial processesRelated: Reduced flow energy causes suspended and bed-load sediment to settle.

• MarshRelated: Plant stems slow water and trap sediment, helping marsh surfaces gain elevation.

• Delta subsidenceRelated: New deposition can raise delta surfaces and partly compensate for subsidence.

• MudflatRelated: Deposited silt and clay build the soft surface of many mudflats.

• PeninsulaRelated: Deposited sediment can extend a peninsula or alter its shoreline.

• Nicolas StenoRelated: Repeated deposition creates the layers whose order Steno sought to interpret.
