a high energy depositional environment is one in which enough energy was present to transport large materials such as rocks and boulders. a low energy depositional environment like a stream is only able to transport materials such as fine sands.

What sedimentary rock is most likely to have been deposited in a very high-energy stream?
conglomerate
Which rock type is associated with a high-energy environment?
The rock type that is associated with a high-energy environment is sedimentary. High-energy environments usually produce sedimentary rocks with larger grain sizes.
How does leaving your light on effect the environment?
Not only does it waste electricity, but it makes your energy bill go sky high.
Which environment would mineral formation caused by high pressures and high temperatures most likely occur?
which environment would mineral formation caused by high pressures and high temperatures most likely occur
Why may there be a layer of clay sediment underneath sand?
Assuming that you are referring to a naturally deposited layer of soil, it would suggest that there has been a change in the depositional environment from a low energy to a high energy one. For example in periods of dry weather with little rainfall, rivers can begin to dry up. The flow of water will be slow and there may even be "stagnant" pools where the water barely flows at all. These are "low energy" environments and the water is not able to carry sediment very effectively so even the very fine material such as clay will settle out of the water. As the climate eventually becomes wetter, there will be more water in the river and the speed or flow velocity of the water will increase. This is an example a higher energy environment. As such the water is easily able to carry the very fine sediment but may still be unable to transport larger grain sizes such as sand which will be deposited over the location where the clay sized particles were originally deposited. This cycle may continue over a number of years leading to alternating layers of finer and courser material.

What is meant by radioactive pollution?
high-energy subatomic particles
How does deposition takes place?
Very, very gradually in low energy depositional environments or very rapidly in high energy environments (think for example of storm surges that can move large volumes of material in a very small period of time).

Which rock type is associated with high energy environment such as strong river flow?
conglomerate
How does leaving your light on effect the environment?
Not only does it waste electricity, but it makes your energy bill go sky high.
Which rock type is associated with a high energy environment?
A milonite (along a fault pane)An ignimbrite (from a volcanic explosion)Shocked Quartz (from an astrobleme)There are more, but the above are some extremely high energy rock types.
Make a list of the negative effect of technology in your environment?
Toxic materials High energy consumption Decreasing the value of community
Where is conglomerate rock most abundant?
Conglomerates are to be found all over the world. They are characteristic of sedimentation in a high energy environment.
What places do mangroves live and why do they establish themselves there?
Mangroves are found mainly between latitudes 25° N and 25° S.Mangroves are found in depositional coastal environments, where fine sediments (often with high organic content) collect in areas protected from high-energy wave action. Mangroves dominate three quarters of tropical coastlines.Mangroves are found in tropical and subtropical tidal areas, which have a high degree of salinity.
Why is it bad to have electricity on all the time?
It is bad to have electricity on all the time because it makes your energy bill high alsobad 4 environment
