Example: The Wind Stops Blowing Or A River Enters A Quiet Lake Or The Ocean. In Each Case The Particles Being Carried Will Settle out, Forming Layers Of Sediment.
Layers of sediments compressed the layers of vegetation to form the coal deposits.
These are sediment particles, such as sand, silt, and clay, that settle down due to gravity. Over time, these sediments accumulate to form layers called sedimentary deposits.
The layered sediments that form on the bottom of a glacial lake are called "glacial lacustrine deposits." These deposits typically consist of fine-grained sediments, such as silt and clay, which settle in calm waters. Over time, they can accumulate in distinct layers, reflecting variations in sediment supply and water conditions.
The action of water and gravity cause them to form in layers.
When Wind deposits sediments in a location.
Yes, petroleum deposits can form in lake and river sediments. Organic matter from plants and animals can accumulate in these environments over time and undergo a process called diagenesis, where heat and pressure transform the organic matter into petroleum. This process can result in oil and gas deposits being trapped in reservoir rocks beneath the sediment layers.
