How is permeability related to the size of the grains that make up the sediment?
If the size of the sediment is very small then it would have poor permeability But if the size of the sediment was large then it would be easier for liquids to flow through.
What kind of sediment consists primarily of mineral grains that were eroded from rocks on land?
hydrates
Why do rocks have grains?
Grains are the particles that make up a rock and may consist of eroded particles of various sizes of other rocks or mineral crystals.
What is the process in which minerals precipitate into pore spaces between sediment grains and bind sediments together to form rock?
a.cementation b.compaction c.conglomerate d.weathering
What is a rock formed by layers of sediment?
This would be a sedimentary rock, a more precise name would require the size of the sand and mud grains as well as the amount of sand and mud, and if there are any fossils, or siliceous or carbonate cementing of grains.
What kind of sediment consist sprimarily of mineral grains that were eroded from rocks on land?
Terrigenous
What kind of sediment consist primarily of mineral grains that were eroded from rocks on land?
hydrates
Are plutonic rocks intrusive and generally consist of mineral grains that are coarse enough to be readily visible in a hand sample?
Yes, They Are.
What does the process of fertilization consist of?
Fertilizars consist of stigma and pollen grains.
What occurs when the weight of overlying sediment forces the sediment grains to fuse?
A sedimentary rock is formed.
Loss of edges on sediment grains?
Grain Roundness
Are the grains in liquid solid?
its actually a suspension
Which type of sediment would undergo more compaction grains of sand or grains of clay?
Grains of clay due to their flat structure.
What type of rock has layers and is made from grains?
Sediment rocks
What is the difference between detrital and chemical rocks?
Detrital- made of sediment grains Orgains- Made of fossils Chemical- from due to chemical reactions I hope this helped you enough :)
How do grains of sediment stick together to form rock?
pressure or cementing
What doesn't affect the movement of sediment along the shore?
size of sand grains
