Sediments.
Sediments in outwash are typically well-sorted and composed of sand and gravel, deposited by meltwater streams flowing from glaciers. In contrast, sediments in moraines are unsorted and contain a mix of various sizes of rocks, debris, and till that has been directly deposited by the glacier. Outwash sediments are usually sorted by size and shape, while moraine sediments are unsorted and show a wider range of material types.
In disturbed sediments without layers, the relative age of the sediments would be unknown.
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.

No, rocks made of sediments are called sedimentary rocks. Igneous rock comes from volcanic activity -- lava and the like.
Is determined by the way the sediments were transported to the place where they are deposited. Sediments have four main transported agents: Wind, Water, Gravity, and Ice. Sediments particles size can be carried and the distance is determined by the speed of that particle. Both the the distance of the sediments and the sediments agents determines the characteristics of that sediment.

Grains and sediments refer to different aspects of geological materials. Grains are the individual particles or fragments that make up rocks and sediments, often classified by size, shape, and composition. Sediments, on the other hand, are the accumulated deposits of these grains, typically formed through processes like weathering, erosion, and transportation. While grains emphasize the physical characteristics of the particles, sediments focus on the collective mass and the geological processes involved in their deposition.
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.
Texturally mature sediments are typically well-sorted, meaning they have a uniform grain size, and often exhibit rounded grains due to extensive weathering and transport. Compositionally mature sediments contain stable minerals, like quartz, and lack unstable minerals such as feldspar or mica. In contrast, immature sediments tend to be poorly sorted with a mix of grain sizes and angular shapes, and they often include a variety of minerals, indicating limited transport and weathering.
Two factors that determine the physical characteristics of sediments are the size of the particles within the sediment and the sorting of those particles. Particle size affects sediment texture, while sorting refers to the range of particle sizes present in the sediment, which can influence how well the sediment is able to pack together.
The two factors that determine the physical characteristics of sediments are the size or grain size of the particles and the shape of the particles. Grain size refers to the diameter of the sediment particles, while shape refers to the angularity and roundness of the particles.

terrigenous or continental sediments
They are really small and they make sedimentary rocks if they clump together in layers over time. They come from other rocks. They can be transported by wind, water, and ice.
