Sediment


The process by which eroded earth materials settle out in another place?

This process is called sedimentation. It occurs when eroded materials, such as sand, silt, and clay, are carried by water, wind, or ice, and then come to rest in a new location. Over time, these sediments can accumulate and form sedimentary rocks.


Is the placing of materials called erosion?

No, the placing of eroded materials is known as deposition (depositing of the water born material downstream).


What is the process called when eroded rock and soil particles settle?

The process is called sedimentation. It occurs when eroded particles are carried by water or wind and deposited in a new location, forming layers of sediment over time.


Where does a stream get eroded the most?

A stream will be tend to be eroded most where the water current is the swiftest and the surrounding ground the softest. Materials carried by the water will also affect erosion. Such materials include ice, sand, and pebbles The current is swifter on the outside of a river bend. On the inside of a river bend the current may slow and erosion materials may be left in the river bed.

What are two different things that move eroded materials?

Two different things that move eroded materials are water, such as rivers and streams, and wind. Water carries sediment and eroded materials downstream or deposits them along shorelines, while wind can transport smaller particles like sand and dust over long distances.


What is the depositing or placing of eroded material called?

The depositing or placing of eroded material is called sedimentation. This process occurs when particles carried by wind, water, or ice settle on the Earth's surface due to gravity, creating layers of sediment over time.


What happens when earth material eroded by water?

What happens to rocks in flowing water?

Rocks in flowing water can be eroded and carried downstream by the current. Over time, they can become smaller and smoother as they are continually moved and rubbed against other materials in the water.


Where is the eroded material carried to and by what?

Eroded material is carried by water, wind, or ice to new locations by the process of erosion. Water can carry sediment down rivers into oceans, wind can transport sand and dust over long distances, and ice can move rocks and soil as glaciers advance and retreat.


How might an eroded area look millions of years from now?

Depends what the agents of erosion are. For example: If it was ice, the area would be scoured clean. If it were water or wind, the eroded material may have been carried off, leaving only the eroded surface.
