What else can I help you with?
The process of moving sediment from one place to another?
It is called erosion.
When sediments fall out of a glacier they create a deposit called what?
Drift and/or till.
What do you call the process in which a river removes its soil and rocks?
It is called Erosion.
What permeable rock layers or sediments that transmit groundwater freely are called .?
An aquifer transmits ground water freely.
Can water and wind cause the loss of soil that is not protected by plant cover?
Yes, it is called soil erosion. The plant cover reduces soil erosion by water and wind.
What is a thick deposits of windblown fine grained sediments called?
A thick deposit of windblown fine-grained sediments is called loess. This sediment is typically uniform, composed of silt-sized particles, and can be found covering large areas of land.
When particles of fine windblown sediments settle out of the air and become packed the resulting deposit is called?
loess.
What is erosion of sediments by wind called?
The erosion of sediments by wind is called deflation. It refers to the process of wind removing and transporting loose particles of soil or sand across the landscape.
Wind blowing sediment against rock or land area or sandblasting is called?
Abrasion.
Weathering and erosion break igneous and other types of rock into smaller pieces called what?
Weathering and erosion break igneous and other types of rock into smaller pieces called sediments.
The dropping of sediments by any agent of erosion is called what?
The dropping of sediments by any agent of erosion is called deposition. This process occurs when the transporting capacity of the agent (such as water, wind, or ice) decreases, causing the sediments it was carrying to settle on the Earth's surface.
The dropping of sediments by any agent of erosion is called?
deposition
The process of loosening and removing rock and sediments?
This process is called erosion, which involves the wearing away of rock and sediments by natural forces such as water, wind, and ice. Erosion can result in the transport of these materials to new locations, shaping the landscape over time.
What is the process that carries sediments into rivers?
The process that carries sediments into rivers is called erosion. Erosion occurs when weathering and other factors break down rocks and soil, which are then transported by water, wind, or ice and deposited into rivers.
What is the moving of broken down rocks and sediments from one place to another called?
Erosion.
What is windblown and fine sediment called?
The answer to that question is loess
What is a thick deposit of windblown fine grained sediments?
A thick deposit of windblown fine-grained sediments is called loess. Loess is typically composed of silt-sized particles that have been carried by the wind and deposited over time, creating distinct layers of sediment. Its properties make it a fertile soil that is often used for agriculture.
