What makes some rocks porous?
The sediments (grain) have some definite shape and volume. Considering a spherical sediment the packing of the sediments around a grain can be octahedral leaving spaces in between. These are the pore spaces which makes the rocks porous.
What conditions make impression fossils form?
The best preservation and fossilization of fossils occurs in calm,aquatic environment.Exceptional preservation also occurs in fine-grained sediments in absence of oxygen.Both this environmental conditions allow easier formation of impression of trapped fossil plant of animal.Impression mainly form from fossils plants and animals that are later decomposed leaving their image shape on the country rock at the time.CONDITIONSWet conditionfine grained country rockaerobic condition that favor decomposition of the fossils leaving behind impression
How does pavement form?
Desert pavement is formed by the gradual removal of sediment by rain and/or wind, leaving only larger sediment behind.

What occurs when a mass of rock or sediment moves downhill leaving a curved scar?
RUNOFF
Why do sediments have angular or rounded fragments?
Angular sediments are usually young or "immature" sediments which have only recently been weathered from a source rock. They have not been exposed to corrosive fources long enough to become worn down. These sort of sediments are common in glacial areas or areas high in a river catchment near their original location.Rounded grains suggest extended periods of transport and mechanical weathering, which chip away the sharper edges of the immature sediments leaving them worn dow. a common example of this is a desert sand, which has been exposed to errosive forces for a long time, being blown around the desert, giving them a rounded appearance.Think of a broken piece of glass. In its "immature form, it has sharp edges and smooth faces. If you throw it in the ocean on a beach, and give it time, the surf and sand will weather it smooth, leaving you with nice smoth beach glass, a mature sediment.
How does desert pavement desert form?

Why is smaller sediment pushed to the back of the beach leaving larger rocks near the shoreline?
Weight.
How do decantation and filtration differ?
Decantation is pouring off a substance into another container, leaving the sediment behind. Filtration is pouring a substance through a filter to catch any sediment.
What landform is the result of water eroding soft rock?
The answer is Waterfalls because it is leaving harder rock for the water to spill over. Also a gorge, a sink hole, and a cave.
