What Sediments are transported or moved from the original source by a process called?

Erosion transports sediments from the original source through processes like wind, water, or ice. As the sediments are eroded, they are carried away and eventually deposited in a new location, forming sedimentary deposits.


What two processes bring sediments to a new location?

Two processes that bring sediments to a new location are erosion, where sediments are broken down and transported by natural forces like water, wind, or ice, and sedimentation, where these sediments accumulate and settle in a new location, forming layers over time.


Sequence the processes by which a sedimentary rock is formed form clastic sediments?

Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller fragments. Erosion transports the sediments from their source to a new location. Deposition occurs when the sediments settle and accumulate in a new area. Compaction and cementation transform the sediments into solid rock through pressure and mineral precipitation.

What is the usual amount of seafloor sediments in a given location?

The amount of seafloor sediments can vary widely depending on location. Generally, it ranges from a few centimeters to several kilometers thick. Factors such as proximity to land, ocean currents, and sediment sources influence the accumulation of sediments on the seafloor.


Where does the lighter sediments deposited?

Lighter sediments are typically deposited closer to the source of the eroded material, such as near river mouths or in low-energy environments like lakes or offshore areas. These sediments tend to settle out first due to their smaller size and lower density compared to heavier sediments.


What is a brief summary for the section angularity in the Earth science book?

when particles collide with each other and with other object in their path it happens when sediments is transported from its source to where it is deposited. these collision can cause the particles to change size and shape. angular and uneven rocks are when particles that have moved long distances from the source tends to be more rounder and smoother. the farther sediments travel from its source the finer and smoother the particles of sediments become.


How does energy relate to the transportatin and deposition of sediments?

Higher energy environments will transport larger grains of sediment. Therefore is you have larger grains, you can assume a higher energy environment. Also, as a general rule of thumb, higher energy environments are generally nearer to the source.
