Definition of aggradation in English English dictionary

accretion or deposition

The building up of land surfaces by sedimentation or deposition of mineral matter

(1) The build-up of sediments at the headwaters of a lake or reservoir or at a point where stream flow slows to the point that it will drop part or its entire sediment load (2) Modification of the earth's surface in the direction of uniformity of grade or slope, by Deposition, as in a riverbed ADVANCE \x 540

raising the level of a stream bed through deposits of substances such as litter

The process by which a stream bed is raised in elevation by deposition of sediment (opposite of "degradation")

When more sediment enters a reach than leaves it and there is a buildup of sediment

The process of building up a surface or channel by deposition; the opposite of degradation The process is sometimes referred to as siltation

The process by which a stream's gradient steepens due to increased deposition of sediment

The general smoothing of the earth's surface by deposition due to air or aquatic transport of material

The geologic process by which various parts of the surface of the earth are raised in ELEVATION or built up by the deposition of material transported by water or wind

A progressive buildup or raising of the channel bed and floodplain due to sediment deposition The geologic process by which streambeds are raised in elevation and flood plains are formed Aggradation indicates that stream discharge and/or bed-load characteristics are changing Opposite of degradation

accumulation of sediment in a stream channel on an alluvial fan or on a floodplain Also applied to sediment accumulation on slopes

The process of building up a surface by deposition This is a long-term or geologic trend in sedimentation

means deposition within a river channel arising from an increase of sediment load (supplied from upstream) relative to the transporting capacity

A build-up or raising of the river/sea bed due to sediment deposition

Geologic process wherein streambeds, floodplains, sandbars, and the bottom of water bodies are raised in elevation by the deposition of sediment; the opposite of degradation

The build-up of sediments at the headwaters of a lake or reservoir or at a point where streamflow slows to the point that it will drop part or all of its sediment load

Process of filling and raising the level of a streambed, flood plain, or sandbar by deposition of sediment The opposite of degradation
