When all the particles in a sediments are about the same size the sediment is said to be?
well sorted
Are all the particles of sediment the same size?
no
Which size sediment would be easier to compact?
Fine grained sediment would compact more easily because of the smaller spaces between particles.
What does silt and sediment mean?
Silt refers to a sediment of a certain size. Sediment can be of any size particle which has been deposited.
Moving water carries sediment small particles of soil sand and gravel?
True. However the exact size of the particles that water can carry depend on the flow velocity (the higher the velocity, the larger the material that can be transported).

well sorted
Are all the particles of sediment the same size?
no
The amount of uniformity in the size of rock or sediment particles is called?
sorting
What is the correct order of sediment size in these materials from smaller particles to bigger particles?
clay,sit,sand
Is clay the same as mudstone?
No. Clay is the finest size of particle that can be found in sediment. Mustone is a solid rock formed from particles of clay and silt that have been cemented together.
Which size sediment would be easier to compact?
Fine grained sediment would compact more easily because of the smaller spaces between particles.
Which inorganic sedimentary rock has the smallest size sediments?
the smallest particles of sediment are found in clay.
How does the size and shape of particles affect the attraction between them?
As the sediment moves, its characteristics change as it is Physically broken down or chemicallyaltered
Which characteristic setermines weather a rock classified as a shale a slitstone a sandstone or a conglomerate?
Size of sediment particles determines a rock's classification
Are all the particles of sediments the same size?
no
What is the best sediment sorting description?
The best sediment sorting description refers to the process by which sediments are separated according to their size and weight. During sediment sorting, finer particles are typically carried further by water or wind, while larger particles settle out closer to their source. This sorting process helps to create distinct layers in sedimentary deposits.
What factor determines the competence of a stream?
The competence of a stream is determined by the stream's velocity and the size of the sediment it can transport. Streams with higher velocities and larger sediment sizes are typically more competent and can transport larger particles.
