How can deposition change the landscape?
It doesn't really change the shape of the earth in a whole, but i does kinda can the shape of one area. Deposition is the depositing of sediment to build up layers. So it will make a certain area have thicker ground.
Hollow areas in the sediment in the shape of an organism?
Fossil
Why do rivers deposit heavier sediments first and then lighter sediment?
More dense material is less buoyant in water than less dense material of equal volume. Sediment shape also plays a role in deposition sequence as material with angular irregular surfaces are more likely to be carried by water flow than smooth surfaces, due to friction with the water. Finally, the size of the sediment particle, particularly of rock material, may be most critical in the sequence of deposition; larger particles are the first to overcome the power of friction encountered in moving water, via gravity.
Shorelines change rapidly Erosion and deposition are two processes with opposite effects that shape shoreline features Which of the following shoreline processes is an example of deposition?
accumulation of mud in bays
What fossil mold that reflects the shape and surface markings of an organism is created?
When the organism is buried in sediment and then dissolved by underground water
How can erosion affect the shape of a sediment?
It can affect the shape of sediment because it is scraping very slowly against it causing it to change,
How does transport affect the size and shape of sediment?
As the sediment moves, its characteristics change as it is Physically broken down or chemicallyaltered

How does the size and shape of particles affect the attraction between them?
As the sediment moves, its characteristics change as it is Physically broken down or chemicallyaltered
Hollow area in sediment in the shape of an organism?
Fossil
What causes sediment to change in size and shape?
temperature
Hollow areas in the sediment in the shape of an organism?
Fossil
What are processes that shape the earth?
Weathering, deposition, Erision, and, Uplift
Why is a hollow area in sediment in the shape of an organism?
it probably died there as the sediment was beginning to compact and left a trace fossil

What three affect how fast a river flows and how much sediment it can erode?
A river's slope, volume of flow, and the shape of its streambed all affect how fast the river flows and how much sediment it can erode.
Is it true that a cast is a hollow area in sediment in the shape of an organism?
it is not true
