How are neritic sediments different form pelagic sediments?

Neritic sediments are found in shallow water close to the coast, while pelagic sediments are found in deep open ocean areas. Neritic sediments tend to be coarser and more influenced by terrestrial input, while pelagic sediments are finer and accumulate slowly over time.


Sediments derived primarily from the products of weathering on the continents are called?

terrigenous or continental sediments


Show you the 4 stages of sedimentary rocks?

Sedimentary rock can form in more than one way. The bulk of sedimentary rock is clastic sedimentary rock, formed from the weathering and erosion of existing rock. The steps in its formation are listed below. Numbers 4 and 5 are often listed together as the process of lithification. For further explanation of sedimentary rock formation, see the related question below.Weathering of pre-existing rock into smaller pieces.Erosion and transportation of weathered rock particles (sediments).Deposition of eroded sediments.Compaction of deposited sediments.Cementation of compacting sediments.


Rock and soil deposited by streams are called?

Sediments.


What is the difference between sediments in the outwash and sediments in the moraines?

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.

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
