What is the mixture of sediment a glacier deposits on the surface?
till
Wind transported sediment are called?
Aeolian deposits.
What are the types and descriptions of mass movements?
Mass wasting is considered by geologists as the movement of dirt, rock, sediment, and landscape downhill. Landslides, slump, creep, rock falls, debris falls, rock slides, mudslides, mudflows, lahar, avalanche, and debris flows are all types of mass wasting. Also, any kind of erosion (mechanical/chemical) moving sediment downhill.
What are the rock and soil deposits by streams called?
Sediment
What happens to sediment as it change to sedimentary rock?
Erosion deposits sediment.
How do glaciers deposit sediment?
Its deposits sediment by picking the sediment up which is called plucking.(weathering)
How are landslides and mudflows similar?
They are both movement of rock and sediment down hillsides
What is it called when water deposits sediment?
deposition
What rocks from sediment deposits?
one of them is sandstone.
When does a sediment deposit the sediment it is carrying?
When a glacier melts it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land, creating various landforms.
Why do sediment deposits tend to form?
The deposits can be cyclical as with rainfall, floods, tides, seasons.
What is the movement of rock or sediment downhill along a curved surface?
erousion
What causes rock or sediment to move downhill?
limjmnm
Are sediment depositions caused by earthquakes?
Earthquakes can trigger (submarine)landslides and debris flows which can act to cause the deposition of sediment, however they are far from the only cause of sediment deposition.
