Can a tropical storm form a coastal plain?
No. Topographic features such as coastal plains generally take millions of years to form; a single storm cannot cause such major changes.
How long does it take to form a plain?
A plainland, a level stretch of land, forms quite quickly, for that is the natural rest angle for river sediments and wind blown loess. Certainly less than 10 000 years to form an extensive plain.
Do petroleum deposits form in lake and river sediments?
No.
When do sediments form during the rock cycle?
after erosion
What conditions do sedimentary rocks form?
Sediments and pressure
What is the major land form for Delaware?
coastal plain
What do sediments from rivers and coastal erosion form along the coastlines?
Sediments from rivers and coastal erosion form marine deltas along the coastlines. This is common at the mouth of the river where it drains to the ocean.
What mountains are west of the coastal plain?
Appalachian mountains
Can a tropical storm form a coastal plain?
No. Topographic features such as coastal plains generally take millions of years to form; a single storm cannot cause such major changes.
How do abyssal plains form?
Abyssal plains form beneath the deep ocean, usually found between 3,000 and 6,000 meters deep. Sediments accumulate slowly over time, mostly from fine-grained particles settling from the water column. These sediments are typically made up of organic materials and eroded materials from the continents. The gradual deposition of these sediments over millions of years creates a flat, featureless seabed known as an abyssal plain.
What sediments form shale?
could you please tell me what sediments are in shale.
What kind of rock is formed form sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
How long does it take to form a plain?
A plainland, a level stretch of land, forms quite quickly, for that is the natural rest angle for river sediments and wind blown loess. Certainly less than 10 000 years to form an extensive plain.
What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
Is sand a form of sediments?
Yes, basically sand is a form of sediment.
Process by which sediments are stuck together to form sedimentary rock?
The process of sediments being compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks is called lithification.
Why do sediments form in layers?
The action of water and gravity cause them to form in layers.
