What is the formation of large rocks from particles of sediment that occurs pressure is appiled?
Sedimentary because it has sediments.
Where does stratification occur?
Stratification occurs on the ocean floor beds where sediments layer up into layers
What is the term for an igneous pluton that occurs in an orientation that is discordant with the bedding surfaces of adjacent sedimentary rocks?
it is called a 'dike'
What is most likely the explanation for how speciation occurs?
It occurs by more than one method

How do chemical sediments produce rock?
Chemical sediments, when conditions are right, precipitates to form chemical sediments. This precipitation occurs one of two ways, by physical processes, or by biochemical origin.
What is vertical sorting?
Vertical sorting is alignment of sediments in vertical position. Vertical sorting is alignment of sediments in vertical position. the sedimentation of mixed particles in order of big, medium, small
What layers of small sediments stick together because when pressure occurs?
When layers of small sediments stick together because of pressure, compaction occurs. :)
One trigger of mass movement is the pores in sediments filling with what?
One trigger of mass movements occurs when the pores in sediments become filled with water.
Transported sediments are usually deposited at what location?
a decrease in the speed of the agent of erosion occurs

What form of mass movement occurs when a pasty mix of water and sediments moves downhill?
"mud slide"
What is a metal-rich accumulation of mineral matter that occurs along a fracture or bedding plamne?
Vein deposits
How can a stream both erode and deposit sediments?
Erosion occurs where the stream has most energy, and deposition where it has least. This occurs as the amount of energy is not uniform across it's width.
Wicth type of mass movement occurs when sediments slowly move downhill because of freezeing and thawing?
creep
