Answer:

Land; is deposited; levee.

Explanation:

Erosion can be defined as a geological process which typically involves the wearing out of earthen (soil) materials and the transportation of these materials by natural forces like water, wind, etc. Soil erosion is greatest when the soil is steep.

The steepness of a body such as river or stream refers to the downward slope or gradient of the body of water.

Generally, the steepness of a body affects the rate at which other materials would flow or move around. Thus, the steeper a river or stream, the greater would be its rate of erosion.

A flood can be defined as an overflow of a body of water in an area.

Generally, floods are caused by landslides, heavy rainfalls and soil erosion in an environment.

During a flood event, water flows out of its channel such as a drainage, dredged holes, etc., and onto the adjacent land changing from a deep high-velocity channel to a shallow, broad, low- velocity channel. As water velocity is deposited at the edge of the deeper channel, courser-grained sediment deposit forming a natural levee such as the steep bank of a river.

What are the five different types of parent material?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at the Earth's surface, followed by cementation. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle in place. The particles that form a sedimentary rock are called sediment, and may be composed of geological detritus (minerals) or biological detritus (organic matter). The geological detritus originated from weathering and erosion of existing rocks, or from the solidification of molten lava blobs erupted by volcanoes. The geological detritus is transported to the place of deposition by water, wind, ice or mass movement, which are called agents of denudation. Biological detritus was formed by bodies and parts (mainly shells) of dead aquatic organisms, as well as their fecal mass, suspended in water and slowly piling up on the floor of water bodies (marine snow). Sedimentation may also occur as dissolved minerals precipitate from water solution.
