What else can I help you with?
The material moved by erosion is called what?
The material that is moved by erosion is called Sediment.
What is windblown and fine sediment called?
The answer to that question is loess
A downward fold in a rock is called?
A downward fold in a rock is called a syncline. It is a type of fold in which the rock layers are bent downward in a trough-like shape.
What is the total quantity of sediment carried by a river called?
The total quantity of sediment carried by a river is called its sediment load. This includes both suspended sediment (particles floating in the water) and bedload (particles rolling or sliding along the riverbed).
A canyon on the ocean floor at which the crust bends downward is called?
A submarine canyon is a deep, steep-sided valley cut into the seabed of the continental slope, often formed by underwater currents. It can be a conduit for sediment transport from the shelf to the deep ocean.
How would size of the sediment in the streams load differ in the streams volume increasing or decreasing?
The size of the sediment would decrease further downstream (where there is a greater volume of water) as there is more energy in the flow. Therefore more erosion will occur and the sediment will rub together with other materials i.e other rocks or the river bed (this is called attrition). The sediment will therefore reduce in size but there will be a greater amount of it. (The amount of sediment is called the discharge.)
What objects can a glacier move as it travels outwa rd or downward?
Glaciers can move rocks, sediment, soil, and boulders as they travel outward or downward. Through a process called erosion, glaciers can bulldoze and pluck materials, transporting them to new locations.
What is the sediment a river carries called?
It's called transportation.
The material moved by erosion is called what?
The material that is moved by erosion is called Sediment.
What is the downward trend on a graph?
The downward tend on a graph is called "decay".
What are the rock and soil deposits by streams called?
Sediment
What is windblown and fine sediment called?
The answer to that question is loess
How do glaciers deposit sediment?
Its deposits sediment by picking the sediment up which is called plucking.(weathering)
A downward fold in a rock is called?
A downward fold in a rock is called a syncline. It is a type of fold in which the rock layers are bent downward in a trough-like shape.
Particles that settle from water are called what?
Particles that settle from water are called sediment.
Wind transported sediment are called?
Wind transported sediment is known as "aeolian sediment."
Is the water in a stream called sediment?
No, the solids the water carries is the sediment.
