Water erosion does NOT cause silt to accumulate in rivers and streams

Question

True or False

Answer 1

Hi Sierra, 

In Geology, Erosion is the action of surface processes (such as flowing water) that move soil, silt, rocks, and other geologic materials from one location to another. So a stream that is causing a significant amount of erosion would be expected to be transporting a significant amount of material, including silt!
