What is the most common means of transporting weathered rock fragments down slopes?
Falling and creeping are the most common means through which weathered rock fragments move down a slope. Rocks break down as they weather.
What agent of erosion creates delta?
There isn't really an erosional process. Instead there is a depositional process; as the river meets the sea it slows down which means that it drops most of its sediment and spread out.
Which type of sediment undergoes the most compaction as it lithifies to sedimentary rocks?
The type of sediment that undergoes the most compaction as it lithifies to sedimentary rocks is marine mud. Lithification refers to the process wherein sediments compact under pressure.
What is the method most frequently used to investigate sediment and rock layers of the sea floor?
drilling
Which soil horizon is chemically most similar to the underlying bedrock or unaltered sediment?
C-Horizon
What is the most common means of transporting weathered rock fragments down slopes?
Falling and creeping are the most common means through which weathered rock fragments move down a slope. Rocks break down as they weather.
Why is lithogenous sediment the most common neritic deposit?
because biogenous ooze is the mmst common pelagic deposits
Why does most of the sediment deposit in the mouth of the river?
Rivers are generally much wider at their mouths and this means the water speed is much less than further upstream. The result is that sediment is maintained in suspension less and therefore settles out.
What transports most of the sediment in beach?
Longshore Currents transport most sediment along the shore of beaches, according to my science book. .
Are automobiles the most common means of transportation?
No, feet are the most common means of transportation, whether it be human feet, horse feet, or donkey feet.
What transports most of the sediment in the beach environment?
Longshore Currents transport most sediment along the shore of beaches, according to my science book. .
Does most Sediment come from weathering?
No, it is erosion.
What are two possible fates for a igneous rock?
Two of the most common fates of igneous rocks are to become sediment (and later sedimentary rocks) or to become metamorphic rocks.
What water filter removes the most sediment 1 micron or 20 microns?
1 Micron removes the most. The lower the micron the more sediment it removes.
Why is sediment deposited in coastal areas?
The sediment is washed into the sea by runoff from the land, especially by rivers and streams. Most of this sediment does not travel very far offshore before settling.
What happens to rain that falls back into ocean?
It gathers all types of things with the most common thing being pollutions and sediment (rocks, dirt, etc)
What is the most common metalliod?
Hahahahhahhahahaha I Think it means FART?
