Does the wind speed in a jet stream stay the same?
No. The wind speed of the jet stream is constantly changing and varies at different points along it. The winds are generally fastest in the winter.
What causes a river to deposit sediment?
Most sediment washes or falls into a river as a result of mass movement and runoff. Other sediment erodes from the bottom or sides of the river. Wind can also drop sediment into the water. Hope I helped! -DorkyGeek77
What causes wind to deposit sand and or other sediment?
When the wind starts to slow down it starts to deposit sand or other sediment.
Which is not a sediment transporting agent from the following list - Stream water wind storm glacial ice and stratification?
Stratification as this is a term that describes the layering of rocks and so is not a term that is related to sediment transport (i.e. erosion) but is instead the result of deposition, compaction and cementation.
How do winds affect weather?
Wind. When wind blows across sediment it lifts it up and carries it. wind may leave behind particles way too heavy to move. The agent of erosion, wind, of the land is called deflation. Deflation causes the land to move/migrate or lower the surface.
What carries the sediment away?
Wind, water, glaciers, and gravity are capable or transporting sediment.
What carries away sediment?
Wind, water, glaciers, and gravity are capable or transporting sediment.
Explain how sediment of different sizes moves during wind erosion?
Sediment of smaller mass is easier for the power of wind to overcome the power of gravity in moving it from one place to another. Most sediment moved by wind that is tiny as sand.
Describe how wind moves different sizes of sediment?
Because of the way the waves in the water move to lift the sediment...
How is wind abrasion different from wind deflation?
Deflation wind is when the wind blows across loose sediments and carries them away.
How is wind deflation different from wind abrasion?
Deflation wind is when the wind blows across loose sediments and carries them away.
What is the erosion by the wind?
the deposite of sediment by the wind
What are three forces that can carry sediment?
Wind, water, and gravity, ice (i.e Glaciers with rocks frozen in them.) -Wind- Picks up sediment and blows it to another place - Water, Carries sediment with... flowing water - Gravity- Making sediments fall down (I.e landslides) - Ice - Rocks with ice in them. (i.e Glaciers with rocks frozen in them.) Falls off when thawed.
