How Sedimentery Rocks Are Formed?

For thousands, even millions of years, little pieces of our earth have been eroded--broken down and worn awayby wind and water. These little bits of our earth are washed downstream where they settle to the bottom of the rivers, lakes, and oceans. Layer after layer of eroded earth is deposited on top of each. These layers are pressed down more and more through time, until the bottom layers slowly turn into rock.


What is a non-example of sedimentary rock?

== == A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments deposited by water on the bottom of rivers, lakes, and oceans. The sediments are pieces of earth that have eroded, or worn away and washed downstream into rivers, lakes, and oceans and then settled out. Therefore, a non-sedimentary rock is a rock that isn't sedimentary.


When a river slows down and deposits its sediment load smaller particles of sediment are deposited first?

No, the heavier are deposited first and then the medium ones and lastly the very smallest (sand). This can be seen clearly when you look at what are called out washed plains.

What benefits do we get from soil erosion?

Soil erosion benefits areas downstream of where the soil washed away by giving them good soil. For years it helped areas along the Nile River. Studies recently shows that It also puts carbon in the wetlands downstream which slows global warming.

How could a species be cut off from one another?

If a species became isolated on an island, or some other impenetrable barrier. If for example some snails were washed downstream to land on the opposite bank of a river, then they could diverge into a separate species, particularly since they had limited diversity in the starting material. Geographic isolation is a common cause of speciation.


Why is sediment deposited in coastal areas?

The sediment is washed into the sea by runoff from the land, especially by rivers and streams. Most of this sediment does not travel very far offshore before settling.


Why is clay sedimentary?

Clay is formed from rocks by those rocks being weathered to minute particles, those particles being washed in a river and then deposited. As clay is formed of these "sediments" it is sedimentary.


Why did the Egyptians invent soap?

The Egyptians used Lye to clean they're clothes in the river, only after the Lye was rinsed out of the clothes and washed downstream did people notice that it would bubble and clean the skin. It was pure accident
