What is the process by which sediment moved by erosion is dropped and comes to rest?
Sedimentation is the deposit of materials carried by a flowing body, such as a stream.
The material moved by erosion is called what?
The material that is moved by erosion is called Sediment.
Is it true or false that sediment is the material moved by erosion?
true
How is erosion harmful to the environment?
erosion is harmful because it drags sediment from one place to another causing the area that the sediment was moved from to disapear
How are the process of weathering erosion and doposition related?
Weathering occurs when rocks are broken down into smaller particles but not moved When natural forces begin to move weathered particles, called sediments, we say that they are being eroded, or undergoing erosion. Most of earth's erosion is done by flowing water in streams which carry tons of sediment to the oceans each day Deposition occurs when movement slows or stops and suspended sediments are dropped.

The process in which sediment moved y erosin is dropped and comes to rest

Explain how sediment of different sizes moves during wind erosion?
Sediment of smaller mass is easier for the power of wind to overcome the power of gravity in moving it from one place to another. Most sediment moved by wind that is tiny as sand.

What is the material moved by erosion?
The material that can be moved by erosion is wind.
What process can lead down to a metamorphic rock becoming a sedimentary?
Erosion. If a metamorphic rock is exposed above sea level it will erode or weather, the products from this erosion or weathering will be moved by gravity, wind or water to a sea or basin where the products will settle as a sediment. If the conditions are right the sediment will eventually become a sedimentary rock.
How can erosion sort sediment?
well, as it is being transported it can be sorted by its size and sediment is often well sorted when it is moved a lot by wind or waves. poorly sorted sediment often results from rapid transportation perhaps by a storm, flash flood, or a volcanic eruption. Sediment left at the edges of glaciers is also poorly sorted.
