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.
What is carried by streams and deposited on the bottom of lake?
sediment
Mixture of sediments deposited by a glacier?
the correct answer is till. this sediment, deposited directly from glacier ice is till.
What are fine bits of rock and soil deposited on the land by a river?
sediment
The sediment deposited at the edge of a glacier forms a ridge called a?
Moraine.
Where does the sediment end up?
Sediment can end up in various places such as riverbeds, lakes, oceans, or on land. It is often deposited in layers over time, where it may become compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
Packed down as in sediment that becomes rock?
When sediment is deposited in layers and undergoes compaction due to the weight of overlying sediments, it squeezes out water and air, causing the sediment grains to become tightly packed. With time and pressure, this compacted sediment can undergo lithification to become sedimentary rock, such as sandstone or shale.
When sediment is deposited in layers than compacted what is formed?
When sediment is deposited in layers and then compacted, sedimentary rock is formed. The weight of the overlying layers compresses the sediment, causing it to harden and eventually turn into solid rock over time.
What step of the rock cycle creates the sediment from which sedimentary rock is formed?
Weathering and erosion of existing rocks break them down into sediment, which is then transported and deposited in layers. Over time, these layers are compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rock.
What is process in which sediment is deposited in layers?
Deposition
What is the Process is which sediment is deposited in layers?
Deposition
How are sedimentary formed?
when the bits of the rocks get deposited it forms layers after many years these layers of sediment gets cementated which means gets squashed and compacted which means gets glued and they forms in to sedimentary rocks.thanks for reading
When sediment is deposited in layers what rock is formed?

When sediment is deposited in layers what rock is formed explain your answer?

What is organic sedimentary?
a rock formed by unconsolidated sediment deposited in layers
Over a long period of time the layers of sediment turn into?
It is sand. Edit: Over many thousands of years - sediment gets compressed and compacted into layers. The layers form rocks such as slate and coal.
What are the layers found in sedimentary rocks called?
The layers found in sedimentary rocks are called strata. These are horizontal layers of sediment that have been deposited over time and then compacted and cemented together to form rock. Each layer represents a different time period in Earth's history.
