erosion.
What is often used to describe the
measurement of the steepness, incline,
gradient, or grade of a straight line? The

are created by deposition. When a fast
moving narrow river flows into a large body
of water like a lake or ocean you would
expect the water to slow and a delta to form.

These are designed to hold back water so that
the river will not flood its banks. They provide

for a town.
