What else can I help you with?
What happen in deposition?
When sediment from erosion and weathering of rocks falls or lands somewhere.
What process can slowly create landforms by piling up sand and small rocks?
erosion
What sediment will build up the land?
Sediment that builds up on land can come from sources like rocks breaking down, erosion from water, wind, or glaciers, and deposition of materials carried by rivers and streams. Over time, these processes contribute to the formation of soil and landforms.
What part does wind play in erosion?
Wind picks up sediment which causes erosion when it hits the rock.
Can deltas and caves result when running water such as a river erodes sediments from an area?
I'm afraid you've misunderstood sediment, and you can't concatenate two such different structures as you have. Sediment is deposited fragments of material sized from silt up to cobbles or boulders, resulting from weathering and erosion of any rock. Deltas are estuarine deposits of sediment transported suspended in the river, from erosion up-stream. Caves, or most of them anyway, do not result from erosion of sediments, but from the erosion by chemical weathering (dissolution) of sedimentary rock - specifically limestone - and the material is carried away in solution not suspension.
What term is used for glaciers picking up and carrying sediment?
erosion
How does weathering erosion and deposition affect delta?
Weathering breaks down rocks into sediment, which is then transported by erosion to rivers and carried to the delta. Deposition occurs when the velocity of the river decreases as it enters the sea, causing sediment to settle and build up the delta. These processes are essential for shaping and building deltas over time.
What is Sediment that is depositedfrom river erosion as it flows down a steep mountain into an ocean forms a?
A delta. Deltas are landforms created by the deposition of sediment carried by a river as it enters a larger body of water such as an ocean. The sediment accumulates at the river's mouth, building up and forming a flat, often triangular-shaped landform.
When wind blows sediment against an obstacle what does the built-up sediment result?
Wouldn't you like to know ;)
What is the erosion of sediment by wind?
The erosion of sediment by wind, known as aeolian erosion, occurs when wind picks up and carries particles of sediment like sand and dust. These particles are then deposited in new locations, shaping landforms like sand dunes. Aeolian erosion can result in the loss of topsoil and impact ecosystems.
Are tributaries erosion or deposition?
Tributaries can both erode and deposit sediment. In the upper reaches of a tributary, erosion may occur as the flowing water picks up and moves sediment. Closer to the main river, deposition may happen as the velocity of the water slows down and sediment is dropped.
What are 2 ways that sediments build up?
Sediment can build up because of the wind or water.
