What is the exterior force that carries away sediments and rock fragments?
erosion
Where does all the force come from to squeeze sediments together to form sedimentary rocks?
The main force is weight of overlying rocks , called overburden, which puts overburden pressure on sediments and make them compress and compacts
How do rivers erode?
They erode by transporting material ranging in size from microscopic to larger than a house, from one place to another place. Transportation occurs mainly because of the downward gradient of flowing water, which is attributable to the force of gravity.
What force created the Mississippi river delta?
Erosion and deposition formed the delta. Sediments were carried south by the river from the central US, including its tributaries including the Ohio, Missouri, and Red Rivers.
How is a tsunami a constructive force?
While it is generally considered a destructive force, a tsunami will move sediments, accelerate weathering, etc.
Does force have the capability to cause motion?
in many cases when it is not balanced or like in case of wall we apply force and we get equal and opposite force in return
Where does all the force come from that squeezes sediments together to form sedimentary rocks?
The force is created by the self weight of the overlying material.
What is the mission of the air force laboratory?
Deliver improved war-fighting capability
What is the settling of sediments at the bottom of a lake called?
Because the force of the flow / tide is no longer strong enough to carry it.
Why do some canyons have rivers?
the force of the rivers have worn down the rock and formed the canyons.
Sediments are laid down in what order?
Under normal conditions, the largest, or the sediments with the most mass, are the first to be laid down, as they are able to more easily resist the force causing the movement of the sediments. Successively smaller particles are laid down after that, as deposition continues.
Can F1 cars drive upside down due to their down-force capability?
Yes.
