What are unsorted sediments?
\sediments that are in a body of water that are not sorted by their type of sediment. for example, if there were cobbles, pebbles, and silt, in a lake, that would be unsorted
What is the difference between sediments in the outwash and sediments in the moraines?
Sediments that are in outwash are sorted sediments, organized by size, while sediments that are in moraine are unsorted.
What do sediments tend to from when transported by water and wind?
unsorted deposits
What types of sediments are in solids?
All sediments are solids by their very nature. By definition, a sediment is the solid material that settles out of a liquid suspension.
Is sediments always in the same order in a flowing river?
Moving water quickly sorts sediments according to their size and weight. A flowing river that experiences a raging flood may have an unsorted mess on its hands for a short while, but afterward, the sorting process will normalize. That said, you rarely see a river carried boulder in a delta, do you?

What do sediments tend to from when transported by water and wind?
unsorted deposits
What are unsorted deposits?
Sediments of different sizes are mixed together
Do kettle lakes contain sorted or unsorted sediments?
sorted
What sediments tend to form when transpoprted by water and wind?
unsorted deposition
Ridge consisting of unsorted sediments deposited at the sides of a glacier?
Such ridges are referred to as lateral moraines. As a glacier moves, it shears debris, such as rock and soil, on both sides, and this unsorted sediment forms ridges along the edges of the glacier.

All sediments are solids by their very nature. By definition, a sediment is the solid material that settles out of a liquid suspension.
What will be the most probable arrangement of rock particles deposited directly by a glacier?
unsorted and not layered :)

What is the definition of sediment in easy words?
Sediments are small pieces of rocks that have been broken down by wind/water/ect. Sediments form sedimentary rocks.
What is an antonym for categories?
Unclassified, unsorted, whole...
