What occurs where continental slope levels off and sediment accumulates?
Continental rise is what occurs where continental slope levels off and sediment accumulates. Continental rise can be shallow or deep and can occur at any level.
What rock forms when sediment is transported and then compressed?
igneous rock
When seas or lakes evaporate what type of sediment rock forms?
evaporites
What is the sediment deposited by the edge of a glacier forms a ridge called?
It is known as moraine.

It is a cast fossil.
What does delta mean in cordillera?
In the context of a cordillera, delta refers to a triangular deposit of sediment that forms where a river flows into a body of water, such as a lake or the ocean. This sediment accumulates at the mouth of the river, creating a fan-shaped landform that extends into the water.
What occurs where continental slope levels off and sediment accumulates?
Continental rise is what occurs where continental slope levels off and sediment accumulates. Continental rise can be shallow or deep and can occur at any level.
When dry sediment accumulates the angle of repose represents what property of the deposit?
k
What is islands that form at the rivers mouth as the speed of the water current slows and sediment accumulates?
Delta
When alluvium accumulates as a long curving deposit of sediment on the inside of a stream meander it is called?
Point Bar
What adaptations do glassworts have?
They have fleshy succulent stems- store water.. no leaves, tolerants grazing and sediment accumulates around it
What type of the sediment forms from minerals that crystallize from seawater?
hydrogenous sediment
Describe the sequence of events in the formation of a sandstone?
The formation of sandstone involves two principal stages. First, a layer or layers of sand accumulates as the result of sedimentation, and then the sand becomes sandstone when it is compacted by pressure of overlying deposits.
What type of rock forms from materials that settle and accumulates?
Sedimentary rocks.
What type of sediment forms from mineral that crystallize from seawater?
not a hydrogenous sediment?
Does sediment that is pushed underground forms sedimentary rock?
no they do not
What makes river valley fertile?
The sediment that accumulates on the bottom of the river over time- dead leaves, organisms, and anything that can break down in water.
