What does silt and sediment mean?
Silt refers to a sediment of a certain size. Sediment can be of any size particle which has been deposited.
What are three ways strata differ from one another?
The differ based on the kind of sediment that they are composed of, the color of their sediment, and the size of their sediment.
Are all the particles of sediment the same size?
no
Which size sediment would be easier to compact?
Fine grained sediment would compact more easily because of the smaller spaces between particles.
When all the particles in a sediments are about the same size the sediment is said to be?
well sorted
Does grain size determine the porosity of a sediment type?
the pop

What causes the braided network of a river?
The dumping of sediment as the gradient of the river channel gets less.
Do the gradient levels and the sediment load increase or decrease the rivers age?
As a river gets older sediment load decreases due to the age of the river and erosion
Do the gradient levels and the sediment load increase or decrease as the river ages?
As a river gets older sediment load decreases due to the age of the river and erosion
How does the gradient of a stream affect how much erosion it causes?
It is because if a stream gets bigger, it is allowed to carry more sediment. More sediment means more erosion.
How is permeability related to the size of the grains that make up the sediment?
If the size of the sediment is very small then it would have poor permeability But if the size of the sediment was large then it would be easier for liquids to flow through.
What are three ways strata differ from one another?
The differ based on the kind of sediment that they are composed of, the color of their sediment, and the size of their sediment.
What determine the direction of respiratory gas movement?
partial pressure gradient
Are all the particles of sediment the same size?
no
What happens to the size of the sediment a stream normally carries when it flows from a mountainous area to a flatter area?
The sediment size carried by the stream increases. EW
What is the smallest size of sediment particle called?
dust
