Which rock was most likely formed from pebble sized sediment deposited in shallow water at an ocean shoreline?
conglomerate
Which type of terrigenous sediment is most likely to be deposited in abyssal plains?
Seaweed, coral, and corps
What happens to a metamorphic rock when its weathered?
Weathering of existing rock is the first step in the formation of most sedimentary rock, providing the sediment which will eventually be eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented together.
Why is lithogenous sediment the most common neritic deposit?
because biogenous ooze is the mmst common pelagic deposits
Are there any rivers that deposit and eroded sediments?

When is the most sediment deposited along the river?
After a heavy rain, or in the spring when the snow melts.
Which rock was most likely formed from pebble-sized sediment deposited in shallow water at an ocean shoreline?
Sedimentary rock, possibly conglomerate.
Where to meandering streams occur?
On the outer bank (at the tip of the meander)
Why is lithogenous sediment the most common neritic deposit?
because biogenous ooze is the mmst common pelagic deposits
Where was most of Egypt's fertile land?
