What else can I help you with?
Sediments derived primarily from the products of weathering on the continents are called?
terrigenous or continental 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.
When sediments are disturbed the oldest layers are found at the?
In disturbed sediments without layers, the relative age of the sediments would be unknown.
Sediments can be picked up by what?
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.
What are the three types of the ocean floor sediments?
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.
What do you expect to find at a mid-ocean ridge?
crystal plate a is moving away from crystal plate b whats is the expected average rate of change in position between a and b a. a few cm/year b. a few m/month c. a few mm / century d. a few mm /day
When sediments are slowly changed to rock what forces the sediments together?
Pressure of water and other sediments.
Sediments derived primarily from the products of weathering on the continents are called?
terrigenous or continental sediments
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
What are the three types of ocean sediments?
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.
Compare and contrast clastic sediments with chemical sediments?
You cant

What forms when rock erode?
sediments
What Sediments can be picked by?

Why are humans not index fossils?
Humans are not index fossils because human remains are only found in very recent unlithified deposits up to the present, which we would usually already know to be very recent.
