Describe how a sedimentary rock can show how fast water was flowing when its sediment were laid down?
Water and water flow are the main contributors to erosion of all rock types. Water flow assists in the transportation of these eroded rock particles to a point of deposition, where additional layers of sediment are added. Eventually, cementation of the rock particles may occur, forming a sedimentary rock.
What else can I help you with?
What is water flowing over land carrying particles of sediment?
This is called erosion. Erosion is the process in which water carries particles of sediment over land, gradually wearing away the surface and transporting the sediment to new locations. This can result in changes to the landscape over time.
What rocks are a mix of rounded pebbels and sand?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when flowing water deposits sediment. They tend to have a rounded shape, because the flowing water smooths out their shape.
Sediment settles out of moving water by the process of?
Sediment settles out of the moving water by the process of.
What does pressure from above remove from sediment to form sedimentary rocks?
Pressure from above removes excess water and air from sediment, allowing mineral grains to compact and bind together more tightly. This process helps to form sedimentary rocks by cementing the sediment grains together.
What happens to sediment after weathering?
After weathering, sediment is transported by wind, water, or ice to a new location where it can accumulate and create sedimentary rock through the process of lithification. Sediment may also be eroded further or eventually buried, compacted, and cemented to form sedimentary layers.
What removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock?
Evaporation removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock. When water evaporates everything that was in the water dries out. The evaporation of water from sediment takes a very long time to form sedimentary rock.
What is ''alluvium ''and is it used?
Sediment deposited by flowing water
One of the main sources of sediment in flowing water?
runoff
What is the fine sediment transported within the body of flowing water?
a bedload

Sound of flowing water?
like words to describe the sound of flowing water? gurgling, rippling, bubbling, etc.
How sedimentary rocks form from sediments?
sediment gathers up then the water in the sediment starts to evaporate. Compaction and Cementation happens then forms layer after layer.
Describe three ways that sediment moves in a river?
Sediment in a river can move via traction, where particles are pushed or dragged along the riverbed by the flow of water. Saltation involves the bouncing or hopping of smaller sediment particles along the riverbed. Finally, suspension occurs when finer sediment particles are carried within the flowing water column.
