How are some loess deposits related to glaciers?
The loess in the United Sates and Europe is an indirect product of glaciation. Its sources is deposits of stratified drift. During the retreat of the ice sheets, many river valleys choked with sediment deposited by melt water. Strong westerly winds sweeping across the barren floodplains picked up the finer sediment and dropped it as a blanket on the eastern sides of the valleys.
How Is A OutWash Plain Formed?
An outwash plain is formed near glacial areas. The glacier melts and loses not only water, but solid deposits it has picked up over time. The deposits are carried away with the meltwater and deposited over a broad plain. The larger solid deposits like boulders are typically found near the glacier, while smaller deposits such as silt can be found at a fair distance from the glacier.
What kind of landform can be formed when a glacier stops moving forward and deposits the sedments it has been carrying with it?
It depends on what the glacier picked up along the way and what it might have run into
Why does water become hard?

In a process called blank a glacier scours the bedrock as it moves?
Abrasion. Stones and rocks are picked up by the glacier and make their way to the bottom of the ice flow where they scour the bedrock as it moves.
Is it true that all of the sediment picked up by wind eventually falls to the ground?
yes
What is another name for Nile river?
Ancient Egyptians called the Nile the Black Nile since at high flood levels there was a high level of sediment picked up as it flowed to the Mediterranean.
Which will cause more erosion a slow or fast moving river?
A fast moving river will. This is true because in a fast moving river more sediment is picked up from theedges of the stream and the bed making the riverwider and deeper. Also more rocks will be picked up eroding the other rocks.In a slow moving river less sediment will be picked up, and the river will erode slower.Therefor the river will also pick up less rocks and or smaller rocksthat wont erode the river as fast.

How do you get a solution with a sediment?
Really easy: put more solute in the solvent than the solvent can hold.If you're trying to make a saline solution with sediment and water can hold 25g/liter of salt (I just picked a number, sorry), put 50g/liter of salt in the water. 25g will dissolve, the rest will sink to the bottom.
