How is Earth's surface worn down?
weathering and erosionWeathering is the process by which rocks are broken apart into sediments. Weathering can be either physical or chemical. Erosion is the process by which those sediments are moved to different areas. Erosion can be powered by wind, water, or ice in the form of glaciers.
Why do sediments form in layers?
The action of water and gravity cause them to form in layers.
What is necessary for sedimentary rock to form?
Sediments, deposition and geological time.
Where can valuable mineral deposits such as gold form?
at subduction zones
How do gullies form?
Gullies are formed by running water. The water washes down to low point, and the flow slowly erodes the dirt into a gully.
What kind of rock is formed from sediments deposited in bodies of water?
Landforms shaped or deposited by wind forces are described as aeolian.
Water erodes rock and deposits sediments to form?
sedimentary rocks :)
How does the delta form?
When Wind deposits sediments in a location.
When wind carrying sand slows down it sometimes deposits sediments to form what?
to form landforms
Do petroleum deposits form in lake and river sediments?
No.
What are the most common form of wind deposit and they constantly change and move as the wind erodes them?
wind erosion
How does a newly formed rock turn in to sediment?
Over a long period of time, the rock erodes into sediments. These sediments, along with pressure and water, form sedimentary rocks.
How does a till form?
Formed when a mixture of sediments that a glacier deposits directly on the surface
How does till form?

What is one form of the erosion of sediments by wind?
drifting
Why do sediments deposits tends to form layers?
Example: The Wind Stops Blowing Or A River Enters A Quiet Lake Or The Ocean. In Each Case The Particles Being Carried Will Settle out, Forming Layers Of Sediment.
How were coal deposits formed in western Canada during mesozoic era?
Layers of sediments compressed the layers of vegetation to form the coal deposits.
