The material moved by erosion is called what?
The material that is moved by erosion is called Sediment.
What is the material moved by erosion?
The material that can be moved by erosion is wind.
What is the process by which sediment moved by erosion is dropped and comes to rest?
Sedimentation is the deposit of materials carried by a flowing body, such as a stream.
How is erosion harmful to the environment?
erosion is harmful because it drags sediment from one place to another causing the area that the sediment was moved from to disapear
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.
The material moved by erosion is called what?
The material that is moved by erosion is called Sediment.
The material moved by erosion is called?
sediment
What is the material moved by erosion?
The material that can be moved by erosion is wind.
What is the matierial that is moved by erosion?
sediment or detritus

Where would sediment in a river likely be found?
Sediment is solid material that is moved and deposited in a new location.Sediment can consist of rocks and minerals, as well as the remains of plants and animals. It can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a boulder. Sediment moves from one place to another through the process of erosion.
When surface material such as rock and soil is moved from place to place is called?
erosion
What material moved by erosion?
dirt, sand ,ice or any thing that is on the earth
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.
The process that transports rocks soil and sediments to a different location is called?
The process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil form one place to another is called (EROSION)
What process can lead down to a metamorphic rock becoming a sedimentary?
Erosion. If a metamorphic rock is exposed above sea level it will erode or weather, the products from this erosion or weathering will be moved by gravity, wind or water to a sea or basin where the products will settle as a sediment. If the conditions are right the sediment will eventually become a sedimentary rock.
