How does loess deposit form?
Loess deposits is form when sediment that is finer than sand, such as particles of clay and silt, is deposited into layers far from its source.
Describe how material is transported along a beach?
Material can be transported along a beach via longshore drift;Waves approach beach at an angleMaterial is pushed up the beach by the swash in the same direction as the wave approachAs the water runs back down the beach the backwash drags material down at right angles to the beach lineOver a period of time sediment moves in this zig-zag fashion down the coast.Material can also be transported along a beach at low tide when the sand dries out by the wind (usually forming sand dunes)Material may also be transported up and down a beach by attrition. Waves may have fairly high energy so will pick up material and may loose energy further up the beach and therefore deposit it there.Might also be moved by saltation (waves carry slightly smaller sediment in the same way as attrition)Waves may be swash-aligned (waves hit beach straigt on, so sediment moved up and down beach) or drift-aligned (waves hit beach at right angles causing longshore drift)
What constructive effects do waves have on coastlines?
It transports and deposit sand at other places to create new beaches

Where do the most sediments from the continents settle on?
The majority of sediments from continents settle in the oceans, especially in areas close to the coastlines where rivers deposit large amounts of sediment. These sediments can accumulate in continental shelves, deep sea trenches, and submarine canyons.
How do sediment layers deposit?
the layers deposit is because the acid rain break them apart
