What do sediments and beaches have in common?
well, beaches are made of sediments and both are rocks broken down into smaller pieces
What is the moving of broken down rocks and sediments from one place to another called?
Erosion.
What is the uniformitarian explanation for how most sedimentary rocks formed?
According to uniformitarians, sediments are laid down slowly over millions of years. Eventually, conditions change and the sediments harden to form rocks. The conditions during which the sediments were laid down determine the type of sediment, which in turn determines the kind of rock formed.
Which type of rock are produced from broken down bits of other kinds of rock?
Sediments are produced
What fault can be useful in determining which of the following for a group of rocks?
the answer is procces of breaking down rock into smaller and smaller sediments
Breaks down rocks into sediments?
Wind and water
How are igneous rocks broken down into sediments?
rock cycle
What can weathering and erosion do?
weathering can break down rocks into sediments then erosion carries the sediments from one place to another. Last but not least deposition lies all the sediments down
When rocks eroded they break down into smaller pieces of rocks and minerals called?
Sedimentation
What type of rocks are produces from broken down bits of other kinds of rocks?
Sediments are produced
What can erosion and weathering create?
Sediments. Weathering and Erosion can break down Sedimentary rocks, Igneous rocks and Metamorphic rocks all into Sediments. Hopefully this helped you.
What is the definition of sediment in easy words?
Sediments are small pieces of rocks that have been broken down by wind/water/ect. Sediments form sedimentary rocks.
What do sediments and beaches have in common?
well, beaches are made of sediments and both are rocks broken down into smaller pieces
Why do natural sediments vary in size?
Overtime rocks are broken down by weathering and erosion which causes the sediments to vary in size
What is it called when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces called sediments?
sedimentation
How do sediments get made?
Sediments are made when weathering pushes down on sedimentary rocks and sediments are formed some people think it is weathering and erosion, but it is just weathering. Sydney Banks
What is the moving of broken down rocks and sediments from one place to another called?
Erosion.
