What is the difference between a building and a structure?
All buildings are structures but not all structures are buildings
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.
What is the difference between marine and ooceanic sediments?
None. An Ocean is a Marine environment.
What is the difference between inorganic and organic sediments?
In chemistry, organics contain carbon and inorganics do not.
Explain the difference between organized and unorganized sediments in urine?
Organized sediments are epithelial cells. pus cells (WBCs), RBCs and casts. Unorganized sediments are chemical substances that form crystals.
What is the difference between longshore drift and longshore current?
Current is with water and drift is moving sediments in the current
Explain the difference between organized and unorganized sediments?
unorganized sediments: chemical substances that form crystals or precipitate from solution organized sediments: include epithelial cells, pus cells, RBCs and casts (urine is normally negative)

What is the difference between igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rock is formed from the lithification of sediments, generally.
What is the difference between depositional contact and fault contact?
depositional contacts occur between rocks that formed when sediments were deposited on other sediments.fault contacts are usually shown as thick black lines on geologic maps
What is the difference between siliciclastic and chemical or biochemical sedimentary rocks?
1) Chemical and biological sedimentary rocks are produced by chemical weathering instead of the siliciclastic sediments which are created by physical weathering. Because physical weathering is much more often than the chemical weathering there are 10 times more clastic sediments in the earth's crust than chemical and biological sediments.
What is the relationship between the distance from a river delta into the ocean and the size of sediments deposited on the ocean floor?
The further from the delta, the finer the sediments deposited.
How are sediments joined up to form rocks?
Sediments produced from weathering and erosion are deposited in still environments, compacted by the weight of additional sediments and cemented by minerals that are present in the water that is being squeezed out between sediment particles.
