When all the particles in a sediments are about the same size the sediment is said to be?
well sorted
What is range of particles sizes?
infinitesimal point. Electrons and other leptons are points, neutrinos are points, photons are points, quarks are points. it has been shown that they all have no measurable size or certain phenomena must occur that have never been detected.
What affects the size and density of dirt particles?
it all builds up
When wind carries sediment the amount and size of the particles it carries depends on?
It depends on how strong the wind is, and where and how far reaching that wind is. Also, if there is little vegetation to trap the sediment, more of it will be carried away by the winds. The classic example of this would be the dust bowl in America. This was caused by bad farming methods, which stripped the west of it's native grass. THis allowed Huge dust storms to blight the whole Midwest, and in one case, carried dust and sand from the far west all the way to the Atlantic ocean! So basically, size of particles, wind speed and opportunity for erosion all play into how dust is carried in the winds
What process involves the transport of sediment?
There are actually three processes that move sediment, all involving a fluid: flowing water, blowing wind (air is a fluid), and ice movement by glaciers (also a fluid). The viscosity of the fluid determines what size of particle will be moved. Because of its low viscosity, wind will only move clay to sand size particles. Glacial ice, on the other hand, has a very high viscosity and can move house-size rocks. The particle sizes moved by water falls in between the extremes of wind and glaciers.
When all the particles in a sediments are about the same size the sediment is said to be?
well sorted
Are all the particles of sediments the same size?
no
What three are 3 main particles sediment is divided in?
Possibly, silt (including clays), sand and gravel. Which are all probably defined by particle size.
Are all quarks the same size?
Quarks are considered to be fundamental particles, and as such they do not really have a classical "size". Their masses can be compared, however, and they are not the same for all types of quarks.
Why are sand particles on a beach all the same size?
Sand particles are in fact a variety of sizes on the same beach front. This is because these sand particles are formed at different times through different processes.
True or False chemical reaction occurs at the same rate no matter what size of the reactant particles?
False! Not all chemical reactions take place at the same rate.
Can you see the particles of a solute in a soluion?
Sometimes you can see them and sometimes not. It all depends what the particles are made of and their size.
Are all the plates the same size?
No, all plates are not the same size
Are all plates the same size?
No, all plates are not the same size
In what ways sand rocks and soil are the same?
They are both sedimentary rocks (rocks composed of solidified sediment particle matter), the only difference is that sandstone is composed of sand-sized particles, which are bigger than the silt particles which make up siltstone.
Does filtration separate materials based on the size of their particles?
Filtration will remove ALL solid particles regardless of their size. To separate materials based on the size of their particles one would use a process of sieving, using a sieve stack with a smaller and smaller mesh size.
Are all gas particles in places the same?
No, they are not.
