How sediment accumulates?
Sediment accumulation is where sediment accumulates generally in the point of the lowest elevation. If sediment is in a river generally the sediment will accumulate at the mouth of the delta when entering the marine environment (proximal to distal).
Do smaller particles of sediment get deposited first or do large particles of sediment?
It would take more time for smaller particles to settle because they are lighter than larger particles, making it harder for them to settle. Its is easier for larger particles to settle because if they bump up against each other they wont move much and their heavier weight will cause them to stay once settled.
What causes rocks to become round and smooth?
Weathering and erosion. Weathering causes rock to break into smaller particles. When these particles are transported by wind, water, or ice, the jagged edges from fracture are gradually worn down from abrasion with other particles, making the outer surface appear relatively smooth. Sometimes the mere abrasive effects of windblown particles on a rock will smooth the exposed surface, leaving the remainder of the rock jagged.
How is igneous rock changed into sedimentary rock?
The surface of igneous rock is broken down over time through erosion processes into smaller particles and eventually sediment, it can be through different erosion processes such as water erosion. Sedimentary rock is formed through layers and layers of sediment being deposited upon each other and the resulting pressure eventually compresses into sedimentary rock over millions of years.
What are the differences between free settling and hindered settling?
when the particle do not collide with the wall of the container or with the other particles is called free settling the suspended particles in the medium do nor effect it and when the particle collide with the other particles and with the wall of the container an d collides with the suspended particles is called hindered settling
What properties affect settling rates of particles?
Other factors that can affect the settling rates are volume. ( whether it has increased or decreased). The lighter particles can catch wind and glide as their falling, resulting in a slower settling rate. The speed and turbulence of the fluid the particles are flowing in can also affect the settling rates. Lastly, the weight of the particles.

When do gas particles change direction?
When they collide with other particles or a surface (wall of a tank).
What will happen to the thickness of a bed of sediment when it is compacted and why?
As fluids and spaces between particles are squeezed out by the weight of overlying sediments, the particles become closer to each other, thus flattening the thickness of the strata.

Is sediment found in engine blocks nonmagnetic?
The sump plug is usually magnetic so any ferrous metal particles should be attracted to the plug. So you could assume that the other particles and sludge are nonmagnetic.
Do smaller particles of sediment get deposited first or do large particles of sediment?

Its is easier for larger particles to settle because if they bump up against each other they wont move much and their heavier weight will cause them to stay once settled.
How is sedimentray rock made?
There are to ways sedimentary rock is formed. One way is compaction; which is when layers of sediment are squished together to form rocks. The latter is cementition: which is when large sediment particles are laid on top of each other meanwhile trapping smaller sediment in between the larger ones thus cementing them together to form rocks
Does he really love you or is he settling to be with you because the other woman did not want him as she told you the wife?

Where are sedimentary rocks from?
Sedimentary rocks come from deposited sediment that are cemented together (usually in water) to form these types of rocks. The rocks are made out of weared-down shells, rocks, inclusions (rock particles) and sand as well as pebbles or other particles. Hope that helps.
How does wind and water shape landforms of New Jersey?
Wind shapes landforms by erosion, overtime wind carries dirt, sand, rocks, and other loose particles on the surface. Water shapes landforms by waves, as the waves hit the surface they knock off rock, dirt, sand, and other loose particles.
