What is the most effective agent of erosion?
Most sediments are carried by water, with an assist from gravity, so gravity induced moving water is the most effective agent of erosion.
Explain how the physical characteristics of sediments change during transport?
Sediments are transported by four main agents water, ice, wind, and the effects of gravity. The speed with which the agent of erosion moves affects the size of sediment particles that can be carried and the distance that the particles will move.
What we called fine sand soil or mud which is carried alnog by river?
Sediment is dirt, rocks, and sand carried by a river.
What can be carried away by wind or water?
Loose sediments can be carried by wind, water, or ice.
Where do many of these sediments end up?
sediments are carried by different means of travel and are usually end up in basins

What is a brief summary of the section charateristics of clastic sediment in the Earth space science book?
Is determined by the way the sediments were transported to the place where they are deposited. Sediments have four main transported agents: Wind, Water, Gravity, and Ice. Sediments particles size can be carried and the distance is determined by the speed of that particle. Both the the distance of the sediments and the sediments agents determines the characteristics of that sediment.
Since humans have been present the amount of sediments carried by rivers has?
Since human appeared, the amount of sediments carried by rivers has increased dramatically
What pulls rock and sediments downhill?
gravity

How are dissolved particles of sediments carried In a river?
They are in solution.
What happened to sediments in the presence of gravity?
They sink to the bottom.
Where do many of these sediments end up?
sediments are carried by different means of travel and are usually end up in basins
How does gravity contribute to deposition?
Gravity contributes to deposition by the sediments of rocks floating in the air and forming the rock cycle. Giggity Gravity contributes to deposition by the sediments of rocks floating in the air and forming the rock cycle. Giggity
Which Law deals with how sediments are laid down in water?
Gravity
