Sediments with a mixture of sizes are known as?
poorly sorted sediments
One trigger of mass movement is the pores in sediments filling with what?
One trigger of mass movements occurs when the pores in sediments become filled with water.
What is the difference between sediments in the outwash and sediments in the moraines?
Sediments that are in outwash are sorted sediments, organized by size, while sediments that are in moraine are unsorted.
What is it called when sediments are layered and sorted by size?
It is called graded bedding.
What are unsorted sediments?
\sediments that are in a body of water that are not sorted by their type of sediment. for example, if there were cobbles, pebbles, and silt, in a lake, that would be unsorted
Do kettle lakes contain sorted or unsorted sediments?
sorted
What are large amounts of sediments sliding downhill?
mass movement

What is the brief summary of the section sorting in the Earth space science book?
sorting is the tendency for currents of air or water to separate sediments according to size. sediments that can be sorted is sorted very poorly or somewhat between good and bad sorting. all the grains are rough in the well sorted sediments from the same sized and shape. many different size and shape sediments are sorted in the very poorly sediments category. the sorting of a result of change in the in speed of that agent that is moving the sediments.
How do poorly sorted and well sorted sediments differ?
the well sorted is on the left & the poorly sorted is on the right .. It all depends on the arrangement and size of the rocks
What form of mass movement occurs when a pasty mix of water and sediments moves downhill?
"mud slide"
Which mass wasting is slow movement of solid particles down?
A slow mass movement of individual sediments is a creep. It happens so slowly that you cannot see it happening and it can go on for years.
What is it called when sediments are layered and sorted by size?
It is called graded bedding.
What causes most sediments to wash or fall into a river?
mass movement and runoff
Wicth type of mass movement occurs when sediments slowly move downhill because of freezeing and thawing?
creep
