What is necessary for sedimentary rock to form?
Sediments, deposition and geological time.
Which of these describes the most common way that material is added to a continental shelf?
Deposition of continental sediments
How does deposition change earths surface?
well while it's carring sediments some drop and over time they pile up and up and up eventually making a new landform when eroded materials us dropped in water it cauese the world to change
Describe how abyssal plain looks and how it forms?
an abyssal plain looks like a flat surface but it is at the bottom of the ocean and it is formed by the deposition of sediments. Hope this helps :)
What is the sequence of events that form clastic sedimentary frocks from solid rocks?
The formation of a clastic sediment and sedimentary rocks involves five processes: 1. weathering 2. erosion 3. transportation 4. deposition 5. lithification
How are rocks changed into sediments?
By the processes of erosion, transportation and deposition.
How many ways can a rock or sediments move to new areas?
Rocks and sediments can move to new areas through several processes, primarily erosion, transportation, and deposition. Erosion occurs when wind, water, or ice wear away materials, while transportation involves the movement of these materials by rivers, glaciers, or wind. Finally, deposition happens when the transporting medium loses energy, causing the sediments to settle in new locations. Together, these processes enable rocks and sediments to be relocated over time.
How do sediments move downstream?
Sediments move downstream through processes like erosion, transportation, and deposition by the force of water, wind, or ice. As water flows, it picks up and carries sediments, gradually depositing them as the energy of the water decreases. This continuous cycle of erosion, transportation, and deposition allows sediments to be transported downstream over time.
How does deposition and transportation takes place?
Deposition and transportation are key processes in the sedimentary cycle. Transportation occurs when agents such as water, wind, or ice move sediments from one location to another, often altering their size and shape in the process. Deposition happens when the transporting medium loses energy, causing sediments to settle and accumulate in new locations, such as riverbeds, lakes, or ocean floors. These processes contribute to the formation of sedimentary rocks over time as layers of deposited materials build up and compact.
When and why does deposition occur?
Deposition occurs when sediments and materials carried by a transportation agent is been dropped. Why this happens most times, is because of reduction in power or strength of the transport medium.
What is deposition in weathering?
Deposition in weathering is the process where materials that have been eroded or weathered are deposited or laid down in a new location. This can happen when sediments or rocks are carried by water, wind, or ice and then settle in a new area, building up layers of deposited materials. Deposition plays a key role in the formation of sedimentary rocks and landforms.
What does schistosity tell geologists?
Schistosity tells about the transportation, deposition and compaction of sediments in terms of shape, size etc
Why erosion and deposition occur side by side?
Erosion and deposition occur side by side because erosion involves the removal and transportation of sediments by forces like wind, water, and ice, while deposition involves the settling and accumulation of these sediments in a new location. The same natural forces that cause erosion can also lead to deposition as they transport and redistribute sediments across the Earth's surface.
Is deposition the carrying of earth materials from place to place?
Erosion is the transfer of material from one place to another place. Deposition is the settling of sediments to a resting place.
Where does the final deposition of sediment usually ocur?
The final deposition of sediments usually occur in their final resting place called the deposition environment. These sediments are buried by other sediments.
Is moraine created by erosion or deposition?
Moraine is created by deposition. It forms when glaciers transport rocks and sediments as they move, then deposit these materials at the glacier's edge as it melts or retreats.
Which process changes metamorphic rocks into sedimentary rock?
Weathering and erosion of the weather materials, their transport and deposition as new sediments.
