What is it called when rock particles have been moved to other places by river?
Transportation/transported
What Sediments are transported or moved from the original source by a process called?
erosion
How would you define sediment and sedimentary rock?
Sediments- Sediments are lose minerals such as rock fragments, mineral grains, and bits of a shell that has been moved by ice, wind, water and gravity.Sedimentary rock- Is a rock formed my sediments deposited into layers and being pressurized over time.
How are sand and gravel particles moved along the ocean bottom?
Sand is gradually carried down the beach by Longshore Drift.
Difference between erosion and transportation?
Erosion refers to the process wherein soil and rock particles are worn away and moved elsewhere. Transportation, meanwhile, refers to the processes by which sediments or other substances are moved along.

The law of horizontality predicts that what?
Sediments will settle in a horizontal layer. Sediments or sedimentary rock which appears otherwise has been moved by Earth forces.
What is the process in which beach sediments is moved down the beach with the current?
Longshore drift.

How do glacier cause erosion deposition?
As glaciers moved and shifted they picked up rocks and sediments moving the mto new places.

Are the Himalayas made up of fossils?
No, but there are fossils in the Himalayas. The mountains of the Himalayas are partly formed from the sediments laid down at the bottom of an ocean. When India was moved into collision with Asia some of the intervening sediments were squeezed between the two and pushed onto the continent.
How can you tell if a glacier had once moved across a region?
Glaciers push huge amounts of sediments ( rock bits ) along the bottoms and sides of the ice.
