What else can I help you with?
Why is a jellyfish a type of plankton?
Because they are transported by water currents.
What are large rocks transported by?
Large rocks can be transported by natural processes such as glaciers, rivers, and ocean currents. These processes are capable of moving rocks of various sizes over long distances by erosion, deposition, and ice movement.
What causes rocks on the beach to be smooth?
By weathering. The water currents weather the rocks leaving them smooth.
What is transported when warm ocean currents cool as they flow along the coastline away from the equator?
Water
What are three example of matter besides water that are transported by ocean currents?
energy
What does sediment transported in a single direction by water or air currents commonly form?
Current ripple marks
How does a jellyfish move?
Transported by the water currents.Can swim with rhythmical contractions of the bell(muscles).
How oxygen and nutrients are transported by ocean currents?
By the currents themselves - water contains oxygen (hence H2O), and nutrients, thanks to decaying (biotic) matter which, yes, contains nutrients even when no longer living.
How are Large volumes of bottom sediments may be transported long distances by?
Large volumes of bottom sediments can be transported long distances by processes such as turbidity currents, underwater avalanches, and longshore drift. These processes involve the movement of sediment-laden water in rivers, currents, or waves that can carry sediments over vast distances across the ocean floor.
How does big rocks end up on the beach?
Big rocks end up on the beach primarily through geological processes such as erosion and weathering. Over time, waves, wind, and currents wear down larger rocks from cliffs and coastal areas, breaking them into smaller fragments. These fragments can be transported by water and eventually deposited on the beach. Additionally, tectonic activity can also expose large rocks, which may subsequently be eroded and moved by natural forces.
What are the characteristics or properties of sediments?
They are really small and they make sedimentary rocks if they clump together in layers over time. They come from other rocks. They can be transported by wind, water, and ice.
How does sediment move from place to place?
Sediment can be transported by various processes including water (rivers, ocean currents), wind, glaciers, and gravity (landslides). Once sediment is eroded or broken down from rocks, it can be carried by these forces and deposited in a different location.
