How does sediment move from place to place?

Sediment can be transported by various processes including water (rivers, ocean currents), wind, glaciers, and gravity (landslides). Once sediment is eroded or broken down from rocks, it can be carried by these forces and deposited in a different location.


Mass movement in which materials move as one large mass called?

The mass movement in which materials move as one large mass is called a landslide. It occurs when the force of gravity overcomes the strength of the materials holding the slope together, causing the mass of material to move downhill.


What seamounts with peaks eroded away by waves to create flat tops?

Guyots are seamounts with flat tops that have been eroded by wave action. This erosion typically occurs when seamounts subside and move away from the mid-ocean ridge, entering shallower waters where wave erosion can shape their peaks into flat surfaces.


Under which circumstances do waves move faster?

Waves move faster in denser materials due to the increase in the speed of sound. This is because the particles in denser materials are closer together, allowing for quicker transmission of the wave energy. Additionally, waves can also move faster in materials with higher elasticity, as they can propagate more efficiently.


What are the four things that move rocks (erosion)?

The four main agents of erosion that move rocks are water (rivers, rain, waves), wind, ice (glaciers), and gravity. These forces can break down rocks into smaller pieces and transport them to different locations.

How do particles eroded by wind different from particles eroded by water?

winds can move sand on the ground in a rolling motion. andd idk what else i don't even thinks that's right haha (:


How does a centrifuge fling things?

A centrifuge uses rotational force to separate materials of different densities. When the centrifuge spins rapidly, the denser materials move towards the outer edges due to centrifugal force, causing them to separate from lighter materials that remain closer to the center.


What muscle let you move?

lots of different muscles let you move lots of different things tendons and ligaments play their part to


What are things that refract?

glass, windows really anything that you can see through.


Materials that are not digestied move into...?

Materials that are not ingested move into the colon or large intestine.


What friction do to materials?

Friction between materials creates resistance when they are in contact with each other, causing them to slow down or come to a stop. Friction also generates heat, which can result in wear and tear on the materials over time. It is a force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of motion between two objects in contact.


What move at different rates through different materials?

Light, sound, and heat all move at different rates through different materials. For example, light travels faster through air than through water, sound travels faster through solids than through gases, and heat can be conducted more easily through metals than through wood.


How does mucus help snails to move?

mucus helps snails to move because its sticky. its also slimy. these to things help the snail to move over different surfaces


What is it called when The rubber and glass rods that are used in electrical demonstration are examples of materials through which charges will not move easily?

The rubber and glass rods are examples of insulators, which are materials that do not easily allow charges to move through them. This property makes them useful in electrical demonstrations to show the behavior of charges in different materials.


How can you do different things?

you think that you want to do some thing and a signel from your brain says to your body do a move ment like move your leg then it dose.


Does digestion move materials into the cell?

Digestion breaks down materials into easily absorbed components. Absorption and diffusion move materials into the cell.


How can things change?

it can change them between states of Matter: Gas,Liquid,Solid and it can make the materials particles move faster (higher temperature).
