When wind carries sediment the amount and size of the particles it carries depends on?

It depends on how strong the wind is, and where and how far reaching that wind is. Also, if there is little vegetation to trap the sediment, more of it will be carried away by the winds. The classic example of this would be the dust bowl in America. This was caused by bad farming methods, which stripped the west of it's native grass. THis allowed Huge dust storms to blight the whole Midwest, and in one case, carried dust and sand from the far west all the way to the Atlantic Ocean! So basically, size of particles, wind speed and opportunity for erosion all play into how dust is carried in the winds

How does the speed of water affect the sediment deposit?
The greater the streams rate of flow, the greater the amount of erosion, the larger the sediments.
Why the amount of sediment in the muddy water will remain the same?
It doesn't ... its always changing.
What substance collects an moves the greatest amount of sediment?
Liquid water.
What is the amount of particles in a substance?
semi-permeable
How do you increase amount of solute to dissolve amount of solvent?
crushing particles of solute
The amount of sediment that a river carries is its?
bedload
The amount of uniformity in the size of rock or sediment particles is called?
sorting
How can you measure the amount of sediment that a stream or river carries?
Get a giant net
Does solid particles have lots of energy?
Relative to liquids and gasses, they have the least amount of energy. In terms of the actual particles themselves, the amount of energy they possess depends on their structure and composition along with the temperature.
What kind of agent of erosion moves the same amount of sediment as ice?
water moves a greater amount of sediment in a much faster way
How does the speed of water affect the sediment deposit?
The greater the streams rate of flow, the greater the amount of erosion, the larger the sediments.
How do humans increase the amount of sediment in water?
china
What is immature sediment?
This is when the sediment has only been in the system for a short amount of time. It is characterised by being unsorted, angular and having a variety of sediment/minerals in its composition.
What are some factors that affect coulomb slaw?
Factors that affect Coulomb's Law includes the particle charge and the distance between the charges. Coulomb's Law states that the force between the charged particles is related to the amount of charge each of the particles carries.
What is silting of tankss?
It depends on what tanks the question is about? Assuming a water tank, water entering the tank will have a certain amount of sediment, even tap water. The sediment may be so fine as not to be obvious. But, over time, the sediment may form a scum lining the tank and valves. Periodically, the tank needs to be emptied and cleaned out.
How can particles in an object can be moving if the object is not?
All molecules vibrate. The amount depends on how hot or cold the object is. The vibrations are movement.
