Is drumlin the result of erosion or deposition?
Drumlin is the result of deposition and not erosion. It refers to a long, low hill of sediments deposited by a glacier.
How is sediment created?
Sediments are deposited on to other sediments and immense heat and pressure turn the sediments into a rock
What can you guess about the environment at the time an uncomformity was forming?
Sediments were not deposited in the location, erosion removing a layer of rock after it formed.
How can a cliff can be turned into a layer of mudstone over millions of years?
Through the effects of weathering and the transportation of the resultant sediments by erosion to a place where the sediments are deposited in still waters or in land based sedimentary deposits where they are compacted and cemented together into a rock.
Process in which sediment is laid down in any location?
First of all there is weathering (erosion) of rocks at some place, they are carried away by wind or water at some other place and deposited there.Layers on layers are deposited to form sediments.
How does deposition work with erosion and weathering?
in erosion sediments are are deposited, in weathering sediments are taken away
Transported sediments are usually deposited at what location?
a decrease in the speed of the agent of erosion occurs
Is drumlin the result of erosion or deposition?
Drumlin is the result of deposition and not erosion. It refers to a long, low hill of sediments deposited by a glacier.
How new land forms?
well first is weathering, then the sediments ,then erosion takes the sediments to a new place ,then they are deposited there for a new land form to come
How is sediment created?

What can you guess about the environment at the time an uncomformity was forming?
Sediments were not deposited in the location, erosion removing a layer of rock after it formed.
How are sediments joined up to form rocks?
Sediments produced from weathering and erosion are deposited in still environments, compacted by the weight of additional sediments and cemented by minerals that are present in the water that is being squeezed out between sediment particles.
What kind of sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments are deposited in layers at the bottoms of lakes and oceans?
sedimentary rock formed by weathering and erosion
What are the advantages and disadvantages of erosion?
The sediments carried and deposited somewhere else build new things. Also natural arches are pretty landforms caused by wind erosion.
Which process makes sediments weathering or erosion?
Erosion
What is erosion of sediments by wind called?
wind erosion
How ingneous rock can turn into sedimentary rock?
Igneous Rock turns into a Sedimentary Rock using Weathering and Erosion. Weathering breaks down the rock into small sediments. Erosion takes the rock and send the sediments into another location, where they are deposited and then consolidated to form a sedimentary rock.
