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.
Does water stay on coin or spread out?
Depends soapy water makes the bond between the water particles weaker. So if you add soapy water then it won't last as long
Why does most of the silt in the Mississippi delta is found farther out to sea than the sand sized particles are?
Water's ability to transport a load (a grain of sediment) depends on how fast it is flowing. Fast flowing water can move boulders but as the water slows its ability to move things diminishes. As a river enters the sea it ceases to flow (it has reached sea level) and it therefore deposits its last sand first and only the finest silt is carried further by the inertia of the flow.
Which particles are the last to settle as a river's velocity decreases?
flattened clay particles
Punctuate Frank deposited the last bundle on the front porch we thanked him for his generous assistance?
It should be--- Frank deposited the last bu ndle o n the fro nt porch; we tha nked him for his ge nerous assista nce.
Punctuate Frank deposited the last bundle on the front porch you thanked him for his generous assistance?
Punctuated: "Frank deposited the last bundle on the front porch. You thanked him for his generous assistance."
The top of a sedimentary layer was deposited before the bottom?
Incorrect. The bottom of a sedimentary layer was deposited before the top. Imagine pouring different colors of sand in a clear vial one layer at a time and alternating colors. The color (or layer) on the bottom of the vial was deposited by you very first and the layer on top was last to be deposited.
When sediment settles on the bottom of a lake the largest pieces of rock settle last true or false?
no
Who discovered the last subatomic particles?
If you think to particles in the atom: the neutron was discovered in 1932 by James Chadwick.
How is a wetland formed?
A lot of wetlands were formed when the last ice age ended. The small dents in the ground were filled with the water from the former-glaciers. Then sediment filled in where the water was, spilling it out of the dents and forming wetlands.
Why do depositions have layered look?
If you are trying to cheat please do not, but if you aren't here it is. Deposition occurs when wind, water, or ice drops sediment and rocks in a new location.sediment usually drops in forms of weight differences the sediment that weighs more will go down first and the lightest goes down last. As a result, that is what forms a layered look
How do you use the word sedimentation in a sentence?
I can give you several sentences.The sedimentation rate has risen since the last time I studied this river.Sedimentation eventually blocks the path of the water.Heavy rains create more sedimentation.
