Where Can Deposition Occur

Sediment deposition can be found anywhere in a water system, from high mountain streams, to rivers, lakes, deltas and floodplains.

Where does deposition typically occur?

Deposition happens wherever there is wind or moving water. Rivers deposit sediments in a fan-shaped delta where they empty into the ocean.

What is deposition and where does it occur?

Deposition is the processes where material being transported by a river is deposited. Deposition occurs when a river loses energy. This can be when a river enters a shallow area (this coud be when it floods and comes into contact with the flood plain) or towards its mouth where it meets another body of water.
