What is the definition of sediment in easy words?
Sediments are small pieces of rocks that have been broken down by wind/water/ect. Sediments form sedimentary rocks.
When rocks eroded they break down into smaller pieces of rocks and minerals called?
Sedimentation
What can erosion and weathering create?
Sediments. Weathering and Erosion can break down Sedimentary rocks, Igneous rocks and Metamorphic rocks all into Sediments. Hopefully this helped you.
Why do natural sediments vary in size?
Overtime rocks are broken down by weathering and erosion which causes the sediments to vary in size
What is it called when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces called sediments?
sedimentation
Breaks down rocks into sediments?
Wind and water

How are igneous rocks broken down into sediments?
rock cycle
Is phosphate released as rocks and sediments wear down?
yes
What can weathering and erosion do?
weathering can break down rocks into sediments then erosion carries the sediments from one place to another. Last but not least deposition lies all the sediments down

Sediments are produced

What do sediments and beaches have in common?
well, beaches are made of sediments and both are rocks broken down into smaller pieces
How is the ocean made salty?
Salt in oceans comes from rocks that are found on land. When rain pours down, it erodes the rocks and carries the dissolved sediments down streams and rivers. These sediments eventually end up in the ocean, making the water salty because they contain chloride and sodium ions.
