How do living things impact weathering and erosion?
Living things move sediments and soil from one place to another. Plants break down things with mechanical weathering.
What happens to the sediments as they move around?
They gradually get smaller
What is gravity causing rock or sediments to move downhill?
erosion
What four things happen when plates move?
earthquakes volcanoes landslides and tsunami
What are two things that sediments may change to?
sedimentary rocks and metamorphic
How do sediments move?
How do sediment move
How do living things impact weathering and erosion?

What is a force is responsible for a rivers capability to move sediments?
The force that is responsible for moving sediments in a river is the current.
How does sediment move from place to place?
Sediments move place to place by Erosion.
Why are sediments deposited?
Sediments are deposited when the water flow begins to decrease. When this happens, the water can no longer move the sediment around, therefore, sediments will fall to the bottom.
What happens to the sediments as they move around?
They gradually get smaller
Which type of mass movement occurs when sediments slowly move downhill because freezing and thawing?
The process in which sediments move slowly downhill, is called creep. It is common where freezing and thawing occur. As ice expands in soil, it pushed sediments up. Then as soil thaws, the sediments move farther downslope. Over time, creep can move large amounts of sediment, possibly causing damage to some structures
Explain how the physical characteristics of sediments change during transport?
Sediments are transported by four main agents water, ice, wind, and the effects of gravity. The speed with which the agent of erosion moves affects the size of sediment particles that can be carried and the distance that the particles will move.
What happens to sediments as they move around?
The rocks will gradually get smaller
What is gravity causing rock or sediments to move downhill?
erosion
The constitution consist of what four things?
they consisted that we move to America with the Indians
What is the term for the reamins of things found in a rock?
Sediments
