What we called fine sand soil or mud which is carried alnog by river?

Sediment is dirt, rocks, and sand carried by a river.


Compaction is a very important part of the lithification for which sediment gravel sand mud cobble?

Lithification processes, collectively referred to as "diagenesis," include: compaction (example: clay to shale), cementation (example: sand to sandstone), and partial recrystallization (example: lime mud to limestone). Note: Pressure by itself does not by compaction lithify sand to sandstone. Sandstone diagenesis is mostly by cementation and also, sometimes, by partial recrystallization and crystal overgrowths. The same is so of gravel that lithifies to conglomerate.


Why is a sedimentary rock called a sedimentary rock?

Because it was originally a sediment, such as sand or mud, but was then lithified into a rock.


Sand gravel and mud are examples of?

sediments that are commonly found in rivers, streams, and along coastlines. They are eroded and transported by water or wind and eventually settle at the bottom of bodies of water.


Why sedimentary rocks are called sedimentary instead of something else?

What is soft mud called?

What would be carried furthest in a stream gravel sand or mud?

The lightest would go further so the sand then the heavier ones like mud would not go that far to the stream. I think that sand will go further than the gravel then the mud! Hope that helped! Although I'm not sure about the answer! See ya! I tried helping!


What are the Drilling mud ratios for sand gravel mix?

Typically, the drilling mud ratio for a sand gravel mix is around 1:1 to 1:2, meaning one part drilling mud to one or two parts sand and gravel. This ratio may vary depending on the specific drilling conditions, equipment used, and desired drilling outcomes. It is important to consult with a drilling mud engineer or supplier to determine the best ratio for your particular situation.


What is the build-up of sand and mud deposits at the mouth of a river called?

That is called a delta. Deltas form when sediment carried by the river is deposited due to reduced water flow or when it meets another body of water, causing the sediment to settle and accumulate over time.


How does mud form in a river?

Mud in a river forms when sediment, such as sand, silt, and clay, gets eroded from the riverbanks or surrounding areas and gets transported by the flowing water. When the water slows down or the river floods, the sediment settles to the bottom, creating mud.
