What is Deposition?

Deposition takes place when a river no longer has enough energy to transport its load.
Heavier boulders and rocks will be the first to be deposited, followed by gravels, then silt and sand.

 

The resultant features of river depositional processes will also be discussed. To learn more about these resultant features, visit the links below.
