Which rock was most likely formed from pebble-sized sediment deposited in shallow water at an ocean shoreline?
Conglomerate rock is most likely formed from pebble-sized sediment deposited in shallow water at an ocean shoreline. As the pebbles accumulate, they cement together to form the rock.
What kind of landform is formed by deposition?
Landforms such as deltas, alluvial fans, and beaches are formed by deposition. In these cases, sediments are deposited by rivers, wind, or waves, resulting in the accumulation of material and the creation of new landforms.
Does the soil in a delta come from volcanoes?
No, the soil in a delta does not primarily come from volcanoes. Deltas are formed from the accumulation of sediment carried by rivers and deposited as they flow into a body of water, such as an ocean or lake. The soil in a delta is typically a mixture of silt, sand, and clay particles eroded from the land upstream.
Sandy beaches are formed by?
Sandy beaches are formed by the accumulation of sand particles eroded from rocks and minerals on land. These particles are carried to the coast by rivers, wind, and ocean currents, where they are deposited and shaped by waves and tides to create the characteristic sandy shoreline.
Where are deltas formed and why are they formed there?
Where a river which transmits a great deal of material arrives at the sea and there is little tidal range a delta will form. Example the Nile into the Mediterranean or the Mississippi into the Gulf of Mexico. The Amazon & the Congo, which flow into an Ocean, the Atlantic in these examples, do not form deltas because the ocean currents distribute the outflow of material into & along the ocean currents.
What is formed when sediment is deposited where a river flows into an ocean?
You could be thinking of a delta or abyssal plains.
A forms where rivers empty into a lake or ocean?
delta
What bodies of water do the four major rivers empty into?
The four bodies of water that major rivers empty to are the Pacific Ocean, Artic Ocean, Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean. Those or some big lakes.
What ocean does the Zambesi River empty into?
The Zambesi Rivers flows into the Indian Ocean.
Is formed when sediment is deposited where a river flows into an ocean?
A "Delta".
In which three ways are dissolved salts deposited into the ocean?
rivers rain waves
Smaller bodies of water that empty into ocean?
Rivers or Streams
How many rivers empty out to sea or ocean?
Most of them eventually
Where does the Mediterranean empty as in what rivers flow out of it?
The Mediterranean doesn't "empty" into anything. Rivers flow INTO the Mediterranean, not out of it. It is a SEA, primarily fed by the Atlantic Ocean.
What volume of water is deposited into the ocean from rivers in a year?
(1.5 billion metric tons)
What ocean do the Yenisey Lena and Indigirlea rivers empty?
The Yenisey, Lena, and Indigirka rivers all empty into the Arctic Ocean. These rivers primarily flow through Siberia in Russia, draining into the northern seas, including the Kara Sea and the Laptev Sea, which are part of the Arctic Ocean.
What four rivers empty into the Arctic Ocean?
Ob, Yenissey, Lena, and MacKenzie.
