The agent of erosion responsible for the removal of the majority of sediment is?
Running water
How are sediments moved about?
Mostly By water from river.... than Air, Glaciers etc.
How is sediment created?
Sediments are deposited on to other sediments and immense heat and pressure turn the sediments into a rock
What are particles of materials that are settle out of water?
Sediment
When water evaporates from a body of water what kind of sediment is left behind?
The sediment is a mixture of sand, soil, salts, detritus.
Which agents are responsible for the deposition of sediments?
Agents responsible for the deposition of sediments include water (rivers, lakes, oceans), wind, and ice (glaciers). These agents transport and deposit sediment particles, such as sand, silt, and clay, through processes like erosion, transportation, and settling. The specific agent involved depends on the environment and geological context.
The agent of erosion responsible for the removal of the majority of sediment is?
Running water
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.
Causes most sediment to wash or fall into a river?
Erosion through gravity. Agents of erosion are water, wind, and ice.
How are sediments moved about?
Mostly By water from river.... than Air, Glaciers etc.
What is the process that happens when small pieces of sediment are carried away?
It is the process of erosion, carried out by the agents of wind, water, ice, and gravity.
Is the water in a stream called sediment?
No, the solids the water carries is the sediment.
What are the steps involved in breaking down mountain rocks and depositing the sand silt and clay in different places?
the rock is first weathered into small pieces which are then transported by wind, ice or water and finally deposited elsewhere as layers of sediment
What will come out of sediment if you squeezed it?
Water and sediment.
How is sediment created?
Sediments are deposited on to other sediments and immense heat and pressure turn the sediments into a rock
What is a brief summary of the section charateristics of clastic sediment in the Earth space science book?
Is determined by the way the sediments were transported to the place where they are deposited. Sediments have four main transported agents: Wind, Water, Gravity, and Ice. Sediments particles size can be carried and the distance is determined by the speed of that particle. Both the the distance of the sediments and the sediments agents determines the characteristics of that sediment.
What are particles of materials that are settle out of water?
Sediment
