How are sediments in loess deposits from the sediments in a sand dune?
Loess is very fertile while sand is not
How do rivers erode?
They erode by transporting material ranging in size from microscopic to larger than a house, from one place to another place. Transportation occurs mainly because of the downward gradient of flowing water, which is attributable to the force of gravity.
How is erosion part of the formation of sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks are, by definition, rocks that are composed of layers of sediments. Sediments are particles of rock and other materials. So if you have a rock that's being weathered and eroded, it's getting broken down and carried by water and wind. Eventually the rock will be broken down so much that what's left will be sediments. These sediments will pile on top of each other, compacting under the pressure from higher layers and creating a sedimentary rock.
What is the difference between sedimentation and decantation?
Sedimentation:- The process of settling down of heavier insoluble particles from mixture is called sedimentationDecantation:- the process of transferring the clear liquid without disturbing the sediments is called DecantationSupernatant :- the clear liquid above the sediments is called supernatant.so basically sedimentation lets the sediments settle down, and once they are settled, removing of the liquid (supernatant) above the settled sediments is called Decantation.Sedimentation is the deposition of the phase more dense or insoluble from a mixture.Decantation is a process of a mixture separation; the top layer of liquid is extracted.These two phenomenons are very related.
How can a volcano eruption affect you if you live 1000 miles from the volcano?
A large volcanic eruption can send gases and clouds of particulates very high in the atmosphere, where they can be carried great distances by the wind, even in some cases for 1000 miles.
What are very fine sediments that can be carried by wind over long distances?
rocks
Very fine sedaments called?
Very fine sediments are known as silt.
How is limestone formed in Florida?
over a very long time layers of these sediments hardened into a sedimentary rock called limestone
Body feature of a kangaroo?
A kangaroo has very long legs that aid in hopping and leaping far distances. They also have a pouch on their belly where their young is carried and protected.

they were called Voltaicpiles they were a very big battery that was carried over the sholders

What types of sediments are in solids?
All sediments are solids by their very nature. By definition, a sediment is the solid material that settles out of a liquid suspension.
What is the brief summary of the section sorting in the Earth space science book?
sorting is the tendency for currents of air or water to separate sediments according to size. sediments that can be sorted is sorted very poorly or somewhat between good and bad sorting. all the grains are rough in the well sorted sediments from the same sized and shape. many different size and shape sediments are sorted in the very poorly sediments category. the sorting of a result of change in the in speed of that agent that is moving the sediments.
