Question

which factors affect the rate of deposition? check all that apply. color of the sediment density of the sediment size of the sediment texture of the sediment velocity of the agent of erosion

Explanation:

The rate of deposition is affected by the density of the sediment (heavier sediments settle faster), the size of the sediment (larger sediments settle more quickly), and the velocity of the agent of erosion (lower velocity allows more deposition as the transporting power is reduced). The color and texture of the sediment do not directly impact the rate of deposition.

Answer:

• B. density of the sediment
• C. size of the sediment
• E. velocity of the agent of erosion
