When the movement of transported Earth materials slows down, DEPOSITION occurs?

Question

Is the statement above true or false. If false, replace the capitalized word with the correct word.

Answer 1

True

Answer 2

With water (or stream) transportation of sediment occurs, the faster the flow, the more of a "load" of sediment it can carry. When the water flow slows down, its ability to carry sediment also lessens. Sediment drops out and sinks to the bottom or bed of the stream. Sedimentation occurs.
