True or false alluvial soil can be found along the banks of the nile rivers

Answer:

The statement is true. Alluvial soil can be found along the banks of the Nile River.

Explanation:

The Nile feeds most of Egypt's inhabitants, who are otherwise in the inhospitable Sahara. The river gets drained every summer, making the surrounding fields very fertile.

The Nile was vital to life in Ancient Egypt. Nearly all the population lived within reach of their shores and grew their crops on the land fertilized by the waters. The Egyptians distinguished between the fertile "black land" by the river and the "red land", the sandy desert surrounding it. When the rains hundreds of miles south raised the water level in the river, much of the land was covered by water and as the waters fell the farmers would plant their crops.

The described situation accounts for the alluvial soil that the Nile margin possesses, which is extremely fertile and allows its inhabitants to develop agriculture.

In two or more sentences describe a procedure to increase the deposition of sediments at the mouth of a stream. Write your answe
wel

Answer:

A sediment is any solid material that is moved and deposited in a new place and can be anything from rocks, or the remains of plants and animals.

Therefore, one way of increasing the deposits of sediments at the mouth of a stream is by reducing the amount of vegetation living near the stream.

By doing this, there is no more cover for the soil and this causes erosion to occur and then the stream carries the loose sediment.
