What is the difference between terrigenous sediments and biogenous sediments?
Terrigenous sediments come from the earth "Terri" means land or earth in greek "genous" means origin. Biogenous sediments come from organic matter.
Large flat surfaces in which continental sediments settle are called?
Continental shelf. But these were mainly created in the ice ages, when the sea level was much lower. ^^^^^^^^^ WRONG abyssal plains ----- JLOPARDO
When windblown sediments settle behind and obstacle these are created?
It's just known as an Eolian (wind-driven) deposit. It will result in the formation of a slope of varying degrees, depending on the friction of the material against itself. Greater friction will lead to a slope of greater angle.
What does sedimentation mean in a kid's words?
I am a kid, and i am 8. i think it means something turning into sediments, or something forming into sediments.
How do moving sediments affects the channel of a stream?
The sediments build up on the floor of the stream, ocean, river, or lake and causes the water to lower.
Where do sediments settle in layers?
Sediments settle in layers at the bottom of bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, and oceans. Over time, as more sediments accumulate, they become compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.
What do we call materials that settle out of water?
These materials are sediments.
Sediments made from microscopic shells that settle to the bottom when the organisms that produced them die are called?
Biogeneous sediments
What are fine bits of rock and soil deposited on land by a river?
Sediments, such as sand, silt, and clay, are fine bits of rock and soil that are deposited on land by a river. These sediments are carried by the river's current and then settle on the river banks and floodplains when the water slows down. Over time, these sediments contribute to the formation of fertile soil and landforms in river valleys.
Where do the most sediments from the continents settle on?
The majority of sediments from continents settle in the oceans, especially in areas close to the coastlines where rivers deposit large amounts of sediment. These sediments can accumulate in continental shelves, deep sea trenches, and submarine canyons.
What is Minerals and debris that settle at the bottom of a river are called?
sediments
What kind of sediments settle out during waste water treatment?
my face
Where does a River erode sediment?
sediments are transported by ocean rift, streams, river currents, wind (air). they are deposited according to size. The largest sediments are deposited first. The sediments settle into the sand and are carried by the stream. Near the mouth of the stream where the water moves slowly the small sediments settle out. The larger sediments get carried by the river into the sea then the samller sediments. The sea water dissolved minerals and soak the sediments and cement together. This eventually forms sediments.
What happens to materials in a river no longer has the energy to carry them?
They settle out as deposited sediments.
The law of horizontality predicts that what?
Sediments will settle in a horizontal layer. Sediments or sedimentary rock which appears otherwise has been moved by Earth forces.
Why did the Sumerians settle on fertile land?
Yes they did settle on fertile land
Sediments that settle out during water treatment?
The sediments that settle out during water treatment are typically removed through a process called sedimentation. In this process, water is allowed to stand still in a tank or basin, causing the heavier particles to settle to the bottom. These settled sediments, often referred to as sludge or floc, are then removed from the water through a scraping or draining mechanism.
