What is traction depositon?

Traction deposition refers to the process in which sediment is transported and deposited by the force of moving water, typically in river systems. As water flows, it can pick up and carry particles, like sand and gravel, and later deposit them when the flow velocity decreases. This process can lead to the formation of various geological features, such as riverbanks, bars, and deltas, influencing the landscape and ecosystem dynamics.
