well, as it is being transported it can be sorted by its size and sediment is often well sorted when it is moved a lot by wind or waves. poorly sorted sediment often results from rapid transportation perhaps by a storm, flash flood, or a volcanic eruption. Sediment left at the edges of glaciers is also poorly sorted.
What else can I help you with?
What do you call erosion and sediment by wind?
Wind erosion and sediment transport by wind.
The material moved by erosion is called what?
The material that is moved by erosion is called Sediment.
Is sediment the end product of erosion?
Sediment is not the end product of erosion, but rather a result of erosion. Erosion is the process of wearing away and transporting materials like rocks and soil, which eventually become sediment when deposited by water, wind, or ice. Sediment can later undergo further processes to form rocks or be re-eroded.
Is this question true or false. The process that lays down sediment in a new location is erosion?
False. The process that lays down sediment in a new location is deposition, not erosion. Erosion is the process of wearing away and removing sediment from a location.
Water erosion begins rainfall flows over the land carrying sediment with it. This type of erosion is known as?
Water erosion begins when rainfall flows over the land carrying sediment with it. This type of erosion is known as sheet erosion.
What do you call erosion and sediment by wind?
Wind erosion and sediment transport by wind.
Can transportation be another word for erosion?
No, erosion loss of sediment , transportation is the process by which that sediment is removed.
What rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion?
Any and all rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion.
The material moved by erosion is called what?
The material that is moved by erosion is called Sediment.
What happen in deposition?
When sediment from erosion and weathering of rocks falls or lands somewhere.
Process by which sediment is removed from its source definition?
Sediment is removed from its source through the process of Erosion.
What happens to sediment as it change to sedimentary rock?
Erosion deposits sediment.
Is sediment the end product of erosion?
Sediment is not the end product of erosion, but rather a result of erosion. Erosion is the process of wearing away and transporting materials like rocks and soil, which eventually become sediment when deposited by water, wind, or ice. Sediment can later undergo further processes to form rocks or be re-eroded.

Water erosion begins when rainfall flows over the land carrying sediment with it. This type of erosion is known as sheet erosion.
What processes turn sediment rock?
Weathering and erosion produces and transports sediment.
The process of moving sediment from one place to another?
It is called erosion.
