Sediments can be picked up by what?
Sediments can be picked up by water, wind, or ice. Water can transport sediments in rivers, streams, and oceans, while wind can carry sediments in the form of dust or sand. Ice, through processes like glaciers, can also transport sediments across landscapes.
When sediments are disturbed the oldest layers are found at the?
In disturbed sediments without layers, the relative age of the sediments would be unknown.
What are examples of the deposition process?
Examples of the deposition process include the formation of sedimentary rocks through the accumulation of sediments, the deposition of minerals from solution in geothermal areas to form mineral deposits, and the deposition of snow and ice in glaciers.
What type of mass movement occurs when sediments freeze and thaw?
Frost heaving is the mass movement that occurs when sediments freeze and thaw. During freezing, water in the sediments expands as it turns to ice, pushing particles upwards. When the ice thaws, the sediments settle back down, causing the surface to move vertically over time.
What observations did you make as to how ice deposited sediments over time?
Over time, we observed that ice gradually deposits sediments in layers, resulting in distinct bands. This layering suggests multiple periods of deposition and can provide insights into past environmental conditions and changes. Additionally, the size and composition of the sediments can vary within each layer, indicating different modes of transport and origins.
Silt and sand are examples of?
sediments

What is a natural carrier of sediments?
Water, wind, and ice.

What four things can move sediments?
Water, wind, gravity, and ice can all move sediments from one place to another.
What are examples of sediments?
mudsiltsandpeatetc.

What forces in nature can carry sediments?
Air ,ice ,gravity ,and water
Why is the ice age called the ice age?
It was called the ice age because Europe and Asia were connected by the ice. Get it ice age.
How do the ages of the sea sediments compare to the age of the oldest contential rock?
Continental rock is MUCH older than sediments in the sea (unless the sediments in the sea come from continental crust, in which case they would be the same age).
How do lithogenous sediments differ from biogenous sediments?
Lithogenous sediments come from the land They result primarily from erosion by water, wind, and ice Biogenous sediments originate from organisms The particles in these sediments come from shells and hard skeletons. Although lithogenous sediments represent the largest total volume, biogenous sediments cover a greater area of sea floor
