How does loess deposit form?
Loess deposits is form when sediment that is finer than sand, such as particles of clay and silt, is deposited into layers far from its source.
Meaning of security deposit?
A security deposit is an advanced deposit that is generally retained by the landlord during your tenancy. The landlord is obligated to return such deposit within 30 days with interest earned, if any, and/or an itemized list of expenses for which the landlord is offsetting the deposit amount (for which he wants to keep some or all of the deposit). The laws regulating such deposit varies between states under the Landlord/Tenant laws of that state.
Is an atheroma a fatty deposit within a joint?
No, an atheroma is an abnormal fatty deposit in an artery.
How do waves deposit sediment on the coastlines?
they wash in the sand at the ocean floor that is then called "deposit" I THINK
Where largest mica deposit?
Largest mica deposit in the world is in Kodarma district in Jharkhand state in India.
A deposit of rock particles that are scratched and unsorted has most likely been transported and deposited by what?
A deposit of rock particles that are scratched and unsorted has most likely been transported and deposited by glacial ice.
Can waves or wind erode and deposit larger particles?
true
What do you call freedom to stockpile goods?
The freedom to stockpile goods at a port until transported is called right of deposit.
Why does erosion happen before deposition?
Without erosion of particles, deposition (depositing) would have no particles to deposit. So erosion must come first.
When particles of fine windblown sediments settle out of the air and become packed the resulting deposit is called?
loess.
When particles of fine windblown sediment settle out of the air and become packed the resulting deposit is called what?
loess.
What is deposit-feeding?
deposit-feeding is one of the five different types of feeding adaptions that have evolved among animals. Deposit feeders feed on the particles of matter in the soil (normally the sediment) that contain orangic matter. examples of deposit-feeders would include earthworms, terribellids, and fiddler crabs.
What is a glacial outwash?
Glacial PlainA l outwash plain is a stratified deposit of sand and gravel transported by water from a melting glacial ice sheet.
What sorts sediment and is likely to make it well sorted?
Sediment is usually sorted by depositional processes, most common are via water and wind. Well sorted sediments usually come from areas where energies only permit certain sediments to be transported. For example, in high energy mountain streams, the velocity of the water will easily pick up sand and clay particles, leaving the larger grains (gravel, boulders) to be deposited in the stream bed. This gives you a well sorted deposit, with large grain size. If you want an example of well sorting with small grain sizes, take a look at a lakebed. Here, there is not enough force for large particles to be transported, only enough force for small clay and sand particles to be moved. These particles propagate through the water and will eventually settle at the bottom of the lake thanks to gravity and water pressure.
Why is black soot formed when the flame is luminous?
The black deposit produced represents soot particles, heated to incandescence. It comes about when the combustion of air is insufficient.
Why do wind and water deposit sediments?
When the energetic wind or water loses its energy, the force of gravity will dominate, causing deposition of the sedimentary particles.
Do rivers deposit sediment when they slow down?
Yes. A slower current cannot carry as much sediment or particles as large as a faster current.
