Which type of sediments will be dropped first as the wind slows?
Probably the heaviest
How do lithogenous sediments differ from biogenous sediments?
Lithogenous sediments come from the land They result primarily from erosion by water, wind, and ice Biogenous sediments originate from organisms The particles in these sediments come from shells and hard skeletons. Although lithogenous sediments represent the largest total volume, biogenous sediments cover a greater area of sea floor
What Sediments can be picked by?
Sediments can be picked up by wind, and water.
How is sediment created?
Sediments are deposited on to other sediments and immense heat and pressure turn the sediments into a rock
When sediments are squeezed together by the weight of sediments and rocks on top of them what is it called?
pp

What four letter word means mixture of different sized sediments that is dropped from the base of a retreating glacier and can cover huge areas of land?
Till.
What are the three types of the ocean floor sediments?
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.
What is the difference between sediments in the outwash and sediments in the moraines?
Sediments that are in outwash are sorted sediments, organized by size, while sediments that are in moraine are unsorted.
When sediments are slowly changed to rock what forces the sediments together?
Pressure of water and other sediments.
What is deposition in weathering?
The dropping of the sediments or DEPOSITING the sediments
What is the chemical sediments?
Chemical sediments are mineral precipitate :)
