How does sediment move from place to place?
Sediments move place to place by Erosion.
Why are sediments deposited?
Sediments are deposited when the water flow begins to decrease. When this happens, the water can no longer move the sediment around, therefore, sediments will fall to the bottom.
How do stream transport sediments?
Stream transport sediment in three ways, dissolved load, (ions in solution being carried downstream), suspended load, (suspended sediment that floats freely downstream) and bed load, (sediment that rolls or scoots along the bottom of the river).
When freezing and thawing cause sediments to move slowly downhill what takes place?
erosion
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.
How do sediments move?
How do sediment move
Why do stones get smoother as you move downstream?
umm erosion?
What is a force is responsible for a rivers capability to move sediments?
The force that is responsible for moving sediments in a river is the current.
How does sediment move from place to place?
Sediments move place to place by Erosion.
Why are sediments deposited?
Sediments are deposited when the water flow begins to decrease. When this happens, the water can no longer move the sediment around, therefore, sediments will fall to the bottom.
What happens to the sediments as they move around?
They gradually get smaller
Which type of mass movement occurs when sediments slowly move downhill because freezing and thawing?
The process in which sediments move slowly downhill, is called creep. It is common where freezing and thawing occur. As ice expands in soil, it pushed sediments up. Then as soil thaws, the sediments move farther downslope. Over time, creep can move large amounts of sediment, possibly causing damage to some structures
What is the land full of between and around rivers?
The land between and around rivers, e.g. in the flood plains and deltas, is full of sediments and nutrients that were carried downstream.
What happens to sediments as they move around?
The rocks will gradually get smaller
What is gravity causing rock or sediments to move downhill?
erosion
How do stream transport sediments?
Stream transport sediment in three ways, dissolved load, (ions in solution being carried downstream), suspended load, (suspended sediment that floats freely downstream) and bed load, (sediment that rolls or scoots along the bottom of the river).
How does sediment how from place to place?
Sediments move place to place by Erosion.
