What do you call a material deposited on a filter?
I would call it a sediment.
Which kind of sediment would probably be deposited farthest out in the lake?
clay
Where would sediment in a river likely be found?
Sediment is solid material that is moved and deposited in a new location.Sediment can consist of rocks and minerals, as well as the remains of plants and animals. It can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a boulder. Sediment moves from one place to another through the process of erosion.
What environments would most likely NOT contain fossils. sediment deposited in a riverbed a thick deposit of dried mud layers of sand that accumulate over thousands of years in?
the answer is cooled magma
How would you change sedimentary rock into sediment?
You would bring it to the surface where the exposed sedimentary rock would be subject to weathering and erosion and the debris from these processes will be sediment once deposited again.
When is sediment deposited in bodies of water?
We use the term deposition to describe the process by which sediment is laid down in a body of water. The sediment is said to have been deposited at the bottom of the body of water, and more may follow to build a layer of sediment.
What part of a river would you have best luck growing food?
The flood plain. Delta
What type of rock would fossils most likely likely be found in?
Sediment
Where are most river sediments deposited?
Most of it is trapped at the dam at Lake Nasser. After that it would be deposited when the flow of the river is too slow to carry it and ultimately what is left is deposited in the delta.
Where would you most likely find fish that feed on sediment?
deep
Were would sediment likely be eroded to help form an oxbow?
at B
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.
