What one sedimentary process makes conglomerate and breccia rocks different?
The length of time that the sediments that compose the rocks are eroded causes the sediments in a conglomerate to become rounded.
How do rivers erode?
They erode by transporting material ranging in size from microscopic to larger than a house, from one place to another place. Transportation occurs mainly because of the downward gradient of flowing water, which is attributable to the force of gravity.
Is it true that Eroded sediments pushed in front of a glacier are called moraines?
Yes.
Sediments that consist of mineral grains that were eroded from continental rocks are called .?
hydrates
What are made of sediments that have been weathered and eroded from minerals dissolved in sea water?
sedimentation
What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
How do sediments become sedimentary rocks?
When sedimentary rock is weathered in nature by chemical or mechanical means, the particles that are produced can be eroded and deposited, becoming sediments.
What one sedimentary process makes conglomerate and breccia rocks different?

Are there any rivers that deposit and eroded sediments?
Most rivers have eroded and Deposited sediment.
When do steams erode sediments?
Streams constantly erode sediments. Anytime the water is moving, sediments are being eroded

What are smaller pieces or rocks and minerals called when eroded?
Sediments
Wind erodes rock and deposits sediments to form what?
Piles of eroded sediments. Which may or may not become sedimentary rock over time.
Eroded materials carried by wind or water are called?
They are called sediments.
Sediments eroded from mountainsides and transported in streams are an example of the conservation of?
Matter
What percent of the sediments eroded from the continents reach beyond coastal regions to the continental shelf and slope?
Approximately 15-20% of sediments eroded from the continents reach beyond coastal regions to the continental shelf and slope. The majority of eroded sediments tend to accumulate and deposit near the coast due to factors such as wave action and currents.
