How is the water cycle involved in moving rock and sediment from a mountain top to a beach?
When it rains on a mountain top, it creates a river. That river flows down carrying sediments witch end up in the beach.
What Sediments can be picked by?
Sediments can be picked up by wind, and water.
What seeps into an aquifer when to much water is removed?
When too much groundwater is removed the ground subsides because the loss of water causes loose sediments underground to compact.
Why are sediments deposited in an alluvial fan?
Alluvial fans form where water moving fast (a high energy state) and therefore carrying a lot of sediment of various sizes suddenly slows down (a low energy state) and therefore dumps most of the load it is carrying. They therefore develop where streams issue from canyons onto an adjacent valley floors.
What is the carrying away of the naturally broken down materials called?
When wind or water wear away a rock, the process is called "erosion".
What role has moving water played in shaping Earth's surface?
this causes erosion
How do moving sediments affects the channel of a stream?
The sediments build up on the floor of the stream, ocean, river, or lake and causes the water to lower.
Sediments left behind by moving wind or water?
sediments left behind by moving water or wind
What is the most important reason that sediments at beaches are usually rounded and smooth?
(3) The moving water causes sediments to abrade against each other.
What carries more sediments a fast moving or a slow moving water?
Fast moving water.
When does wind or water carry sediments deposits loads?
Wind or water carrying sediment deposits its load in slow moving or standing water. Sediment typically comes from beaches, erosion, and typical weathering.
When do steams erode sediments?
Streams constantly erode sediments. Anytime the water is moving, sediments are being eroded
What role has moving water played in Earth's surface?
By weathering rock and carrying it away to different places. That process is called erosion. Then it deposits the sediments and builds, which is called deposition.

What happens to the sediments when the wind stops blowing or water stops moving?
deposition
When do steams deposit sediments?
When gravity and friction overcome the ability of the moving water to move them.
