Rosgen Classification
Rosgen Classification
(OP)
I noticed that there is a Rosgen Stream classification for a Silt/Clay (A6a+) and a Sand (A5a+) for streams with slopes greater than 10%. Is this possible? And if so, how does it occur? Can it occur naturally? I would think that naturally anything with a slope larger than 10% would have enough torsion and shear stress to remove the small sediment until it was at a lower slope.
I am very curious to see how this could work.

A stable channel is a channel where every particle of bed material carried downstream is replaced in the bed by a particle dropped from upstream.
