What certain things that form sediment are considered an indicator species?
Protozoans form sediment and are considered an indicator species.
What sediment is compacted to form shale?
clay
In what ways can sediment enter a river?
mass movement and gravity
What type of sedimentary rock would form from sediment 0.0002 cm in diameter?
Conglomerate is the sedimentary rock that would form from sediment of 0.0002 cm diameter.
What are four ways that gravity moves sediment and rock?
Through landslides, mudslides, running water, and glaciers.
Is a sediment a form of carbon?
yes a sediment is a form of carbon
How is sedimentray rock made?
There are to ways sedimentary rock is formed. One way is compaction; which is when layers of sediment are squished together to form rocks. The latter is cementition: which is when large sediment particles are laid on top of each other meanwhile trapping smaller sediment in between the larger ones thus cementing them together to form rocks

What are three ways strata differ from one another?

What certain things that form sediment are considered an indicator species?
Protozoans form sediment and are considered an indicator species.
Where can sediment accumulate?
Sediment can accumulate at the mouths of rivers, usually in the form of deltas.
What is 4 written is 3 ways?

What type of rock can wear away to form sediment?
Any rock can wear away to form sediment; be it sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous.
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 sediment is compacted to form shale?
clay
What type of rock are form from sediment?
Sedimentry
