How do poorly sorted and well sorted sediments differ?
the well sorted is on the left & the poorly sorted is on the right .. It all depends on the arrangement and size of the rocks
What is a barchan?
A barchan is an arc-shaped sand ridge comprised of well-sorted sand.
The particles in a sand dune deposit are small and very well-sorted and have surface pits that give them a frosted appearance This deposit most likely was transported by?
wind
What is is an example of a dune?
a sand dune maybe...? Well,,,,,,,,a sand dune is any beach if that helps???? Sorry. im trying to figure it out also.
Is beach sand well sorted?
Yes
What dose a sand dune look like?
Well a sand dune is a ridge of sand that is created by the wind... They have a smooth appearance and faint lines running along them
What is the difference between poorly sorted and well sorted sediments?
A well sorted soil has particles which are all a similar size, a well graded soil would be classified as poorly graded. Whereas a poorly sorted soil has a wide range of particle sizes and is classified as well graded. On a particle size distribution a well sorted soil gives a steep gradient.
How does sorting of rock particles affect porosity of rocks?
poorly sorted = low porosity well sorted = high porosity
How can erosion sort sediment?
well, as it is being transported it can be sorted by its size and sediment is often well sorted when it is moved a lot by wind or waves. poorly sorted sediment often results from rapid transportation perhaps by a storm, flash flood, or a volcanic eruption. Sediment left at the edges of glaciers is also poorly sorted.
Which of the following materials probably has the lowest porosity 1 Well sorted fine grained sediment 2 Well sorted coarsegrained sediment 3 Unfractured granite 4 Sand with well?
well sorted coarse grained sediment
How do humans intervene with weathering and erosion?
Well on the beaches there's smalls sand dunes and they say not to step on them, that's cause for deposition to make a sand dune takes long time and when someone steps on them thy are destroyed the sand dune i hope this :D
What do you call a big pile of sand?
