Is drumlin the result of erosion or deposition?
Drumlin is the result of deposition and not erosion. It refers to a long, low hill of sediments deposited by a glacier.
What is alluvial deposition?
Alluvial sediment:is clay or silt or gravel carried by rushing streams and deposited where the stream slows down. Alluvial deposition refers to this process.by which alluvium is thus deposited.
What is the general term for all sediments deposited by a glacier?
Till.
Which layer of rock formed from sediments deposited on land?

What happens when sediments is deposited at a rivers mouth?
A delta is formed.
Rock and soil deposited by streams are called?
Sediments.
What are rocks snd soil deposited by streams called?
they are deposited by sediment
What Sediments being transported by streams and deposited on lake bottoms are best representatives of the?
Principle of Uniformitarianism.
When are sediments transported by a river deposited?
when rivers enter oceans or lakes, the water slows and sediment is deposited.
What is the difference between old alluvium and new alluvium?
Alluvium refers to clay, silt, sand, gravel, or similar detrital material deposited by running water. New alluvium are these sediments that are being deposited right now and older alluvium refers to sediments that were deposited a short while before the new alluvium. For example, a 500 years ago some sediments were deposited in a stream bed and last year more sediments were deposited in that same stream bed. The 500 year old sediment would be older alluvium and the 1 year old sediment would be the younger alluvium.
What are the sediments called that are deposited directly by a glacier?
Sediments directly deposited by the glacier are called till.
Where does a River erode sediment?
sediments are transported by ocean rift, streams, river currents, wind (air). they are deposited according to size. The largest sediments are deposited first. The sediments settle into the sand and are carried by the stream. Near the mouth of the stream where the water moves slowly the small sediments settle out. The larger sediments get carried by the river into the sea then the samller sediments. The sea water dissolved minerals and soak the sediments and cement together. This eventually forms sediments.
What is the amount of sediments deposited annually by the miss river?
tons of thousands of sediments are deposited each day
Why are sediments deposited?
Sediments are deposited when the water flow begins to decrease. When this happens, the water can no longer move the sediment around, therefore, sediments will fall to the bottom.
Mixture of sediments deposited by a glacier?
the correct answer is till. this sediment, deposited directly from glacier ice is till.
Is drumlin the result of erosion or deposition?
Drumlin is the result of deposition and not erosion. It refers to a long, low hill of sediments deposited by a glacier.
