Is sediment of different sized particles left by ice from glaciers called outwash?
Yes, it is called outwash.
What are thick masses of ice that erode rock and move sediment called?
These are glaciers.
Particles that settle from water are called what?
Depends on the context. If this is a chemistry experiment it would be called a precipitate. If this is water in say a water course it would be called sediment.
What are the small bits of weathered rock that settle to the bottom of bodies of water?
These particles are called sediment.
The small glaciers that exist in high mountainous areas are called?
its not mountain glaciers but its valley glaciers
Is sediment of different sized particles left by ice from glaciers called outwash?
Yes, it is called outwash.
How do glaciers deposit sediment?
Its deposits sediment by picking the sediment up which is called plucking.(weathering)
Can ice carry sediment?
Yes. Glaciers carry large amounts of sediment. When that sediment is deposited it is called glacial till.
What are thick masses of ice that erode rock and move sediment called?
These are glaciers.
Particles of weathered rocks are also called?
sediment
What is Sediment of different sized particles left by ice from glaciers is called?
Glacial Till (used to be called 'Boulder Clay'). Sometimes Moraine Debris, but terms like 'moraine' refer to the topography of the deposit rather than the material itself.
The amount of uniformity in the size of rock or sediment particles is called?
sorting
Particles that settle from water are called what?
Depends on the context. If this is a chemistry experiment it would be called a precipitate. If this is water in say a water course it would be called sediment.
What are particles of weathered rock called?
The smaller chunks are pebbles and dust. When they are carried by water, they are called sediment.
Four ways sediment can form?
sediment was formed by weathering and erosion in a source area, and then transported to the place of deposition by water, wind, mass movement or glaciers which are called agents of denudation.
What is the prossess in which dessolved materials cristalize and glue particles of sediment together is called?
Cementation.
What are the small bits of weathered rock that settle to the bottom of bodies of water?
These particles are called sediment.
