What is the process by which sediment is dropped by wind or water?
errosion
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.
Which type of sediment will be dropped first as the wind slows down?
Probably the heaviest
What is the movement of particles by wind water ice and gravity?
EROSION According to Holt Science and Technology, by Holt Rinehart and Winston, "the process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment form one location to another" is erosion.
What is the process by which sediment is dropped by wind or water?
errosion
What carries the sediment away?
Wind, water, glaciers, and gravity are capable or transporting sediment.
What carries away sediment?
Wind, water, glaciers, and gravity are capable or transporting sediment.
The process in which sediments are dropped by wind water ice or gravity?
Erosion
The agent of erosion responsible for the removal of the majority of sediment is?
Running water
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.
What am i describing when material that has been eroded and transported is dropped by the water wind or ice that was carrying it?
The deposition of sediment.
What is the process by which wind water ice gravity transports soil and sediment from one place to another?
Erosion
What are three forces that can carry sediment?
Wind, water, and gravity, ice (i.e Glaciers with rocks frozen in them.) -Wind- Picks up sediment and blows it to another place - Water, Carries sediment with... flowing water - Gravity- Making sediments fall down (I.e landslides) - Ice - Rocks with ice in them. (i.e Glaciers with rocks frozen in them.) Falls off when thawed.
Why does the wind carried sediment fall to the ground?
Gravity.
What are the processes caused by gravity that move sediment downhill?
Generally, these processes are referred to as transportation, the movement of sediment during erosion, via wind, ice, or water.
What are some examples of erosion and deposition?
for erosion it would sediment transporting by water and for deposition would be sand dunes cause wind can carry sediment and deposits on the sand dune the forces that sediment can be carry is throught wind, water, ice, and gravity. I hope this helps you :D
