What else can I help you with?
What pulls rock and sediments downhill?
gravity
Which Law deals with how sediments are laid down in water?
Gravity
What is gravity causing rock or sediments to move downhill?
erosion
What type of sediments are carried by gravity?
Sediments carried by gravity are typically coarse-grained and unsorted. These sediments include boulders, cobbles, pebbles, and sand that are transported downhill by mass wasting processes such as landslides, rockfalls, and debris flows.
What four things can move sediments?
Water, wind, gravity, and ice can all move sediments from one place to another.
What moves river water downhill while it is eroding sediments?
gravity
What forces in nature can carry sediments?
Air ,ice ,gravity ,and water
Which of the images shows sediments in motion What is causing it to move?
The second image shows sediments in motion. The movement is likely caused by the flow of water or the force of gravity on the slope where the sediments are located.
Why do sediments form in layers?
The action of water and gravity cause them to form in layers.
How can gravity contribute to erosion?
Gravity causes mass movement with sediments. Examples of this are anything with slope. Since gravity pulls everything to the center of the Earth, and natural slopes exist, gravity pulls rocks down different varieties of slopes. An example of this can be a mud slide. This can cause sediments to be pulled downward and deposited in erosion.
Which factor can transport sediments?
Sediments in sedimentary rock can be transported by wind, water, or glaciers
When do steams deposit sediments?
When gravity and friction overcome the ability of the moving water to move them.
