Which Law deals with how sediments are laid down in water?
Gravity
What forces in nature can carry sediments?
Air ,ice ,gravity ,and water
How can a igneous and metamorphic rock turn into sediments?
Igneous and metamorphic rock can be turned into sediments through weathering and erosion. For example: wind, water, and gravity.
How are sediments moved about?
Mostly By water from river.... than Air, Glaciers etc.
What causes gravity of erosion?
Gravity pulls all objects toward Earth's center. Gravity will pull weathered particles on a slope to a lower position. In this way, the pull of gravity is responsible for landslides, slump, mudslides, and creep.
What is the movement of rock particles by water ice or gravity?
Erosion. Weathering is the physical and chemical breakdown of rock. Erosion is the removal of of weathered sediments. Transport is the movement of weathered sediments (say in suspension in river water) during the erosion process. Deposition is the laying down of the transported sediments in a new location.

What word means moving rivers pick up lighter sediment and carry it along?
Erosion is the movement of sediments by wind, water, ice, and gravity. Transportation of sediments by rivers and streams is referred to as fluvial erosion.
Which Law deals with how sediments are laid down in water?
Gravity
What happenes to these sediments as they move around?
Sediments move around due to the combination of the force of gravity acting on the sediment and or the movement of the fluid in which the sediment is entrained. Movement may either be made by air, water or ice. Sediment movement in fluids occurs in water bodies as a result of water currents and tides.

What moves river water downhill while it is eroding sediments?
gravity
The process in which sediments are dropped by wind water ice or gravity?
Erosion
What forces in nature can carry sediments?
Air ,ice ,gravity ,and water
What is the movement by wind water or gravity of soil from one place to another?
Its called EROSION
Why do sediments form in layers?
The action of water and gravity cause them to form in layers.
What is the most effective agent of erosion?
Most sediments are carried by water, with an assist from gravity, so gravity induced moving water is the most effective agent of erosion.
