Sediment is neither stored nor produced ________. It is primarily a zone of transport in a river system. in the flood plain near the outlet in the drainage divide in the head waters in the trunk stream

Respuesta :

Answer: In the flood plain.

Explanation:

A sediment is a solid particle or matter that is formed due to erosion or the breaking down of rocks. it can be transported by water, wind or ice.

A sediment is primary zone of transport in a river system because it helps to create a home for aquatic organisms.

The various kinds of sediment we have are:

a. Lithogenous sediment: These sediments comes from the earth surface due to transportation by wind, water or ice.

b. Hydrogenous sediment: These sediments are formed from chemical reactions.

c. Biogenous sediment: They are formed from microorganisms.

Answer:

In the FLOOD PLAIN

Explanation:

The flood plain is generally a flat or gently sloping area of land beside a river channel which is inundated during periods of high water.Floodplains serve as a form of storage during high discharge in a river and can reduce downstream flood risk. In addition they also provide connections between habitats, provide safe refuge for fish and wildlife, and facilitate

sediment transport and storage. Floodplains are generally lower energy environments and so sediment aggradation commonly occurs over time.This sediment trapping process will reduce the sediment loading in the

main river.
