Draw an example of a braided river system and describe what it looks like.
Answers
Answer:
Braided Rivers exhibit numerous channels that split off and rejoin each other to give a braided appearance. They typically carry fairly coarse-grained sediment down a fairly steep gradient. ... Deposits of Braided Rivers tend to be coarse-grained and contain abundant amalgamated channels.
Answer:
A braided river, or braided channel, consists of a network of river channels separated by small, often temporary, islands called braid bars or, in English usage, aits or eyots. Braided streams tend to occur in rivers with high sediment loads and/or coarse grain sizes,[1][2] and in rivers with steeper slopes than typical rivers with straight or meandering channel patterns.[3] They are also associated with rivers with rapid and frequent variation in the amount of water they carry, i.e., with "flashy" rivers, and with rivers with weak banks.[4] Braided channels are found in a variety of environments all over the world, including gravelly mountain streams, sand bed rivers, on alluvial fans, on river deltas, and across depositional plains.
