What are small pieces of rocks shells or the remains of plants or animals called that have been carried and deposited by wind water and ice?
Glaciers can scrape and break up rock and then transport it,... ice wedging is the weathering process where water trapped in tiny rock ... roads and morning thaws can drop hazardous rock pieces onto the road. ... soil, mud, rock, and so forth) by the agents of wind water ice, or movement in response to gravity. ...
If, That is what you didn't want. I'll try and look up a better answer in my science books.
Thanks Again for the great question!
Sincerely,

What else can I help you with?
The type of rocks that form where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers are called?
The type of rock that forms where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers are called organic sedimentary rock.
What is the soil deposited by rivers called?
The soil or sediments itself is called silt, and the landform that is often created at the mouths of rivers is called a river delta. Sand bars are also created in rivers and other waterways by deposited silt.
What is a sediment that is carried down mountain canyons and deposited on the gentle slopes at the base of the mountains?
The sediment that is carried down mountain canyons and deposited on the gentle slopes at the base of the mountains is called alluvium. This alluvial deposit typically consists of a mix of sand, silt, clay, and gravel that has been transported by water flow and deposited as the flow velocity decreases on the gentler slopes.
What is the name given to soil deposited at the mouth of a river?
The name given to soil deposited at the mouth of a river is "alluvium." Alluvium consists of sediments such as silt, sand, and gravel that are carried by the river's current and deposited when the flow slows down as it enters a larger body of water, such as an ocean or a lake. This process of deposition forms features like river deltas and floodplains, which are rich in nutrients and fertile for agriculture.
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.
The type of rocks that form where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers are called?
The type of rock that forms where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers are called organic sedimentary rock.
What is the process when soil can be carried from one place and deposited in another called?
Erosion
Land that has soil carried downstream by a river and deposited at the rivers mouth is called a?
soil flow
What land area that includes soil carried downstream by a river and deposited at the river and mouth is called?
The land area that includes soil carried downstream by a river and deposited at the rivers mouth is called a delta. The delta is also where the river enters the ocean or lake.
What Land area that includes soil carried downstream by a river and deposited at a river and mouth is called a?
The land area that includes soil carried downstream by a river and deposited at the rivers mouth is called a delta. The delta is also where the river enters the ocean or lake.
Land area that includes soil carried downstream by a river and deposited at the river mouth is called a?
Delta
Land area that indicates soil carried downstream by a river and deposited at the river's mouth is called a what?
Delta
What is a huge boulder carried by a glacier called?
its called a forager
Land area that includes soil carried down by a river and deposited at the rivers mouth is called a?
Deltain Peru
What is the material called that is deposited by meltwater beyond the end of a glacier?
The material deposited by meltwater beyond the end of a glacier is called glacial outwash or outwash plain. It consists of sediments such as sand, gravel, and boulders that have been carried by the flowing meltwater and deposited as the glacier retreats.
What is the soil deposited by rivers called?
The soil or sediments itself is called silt, and the landform that is often created at the mouths of rivers is called a river delta. Sand bars are also created in rivers and other waterways by deposited silt.
What is the name of a person who studies fossil remains of plants and animals?
A paleontologist studies fossilized remains of plants and animals.
