What else can I help you with?
What we called fine sand soil or mud which is carried alnog by river?
Sediment is dirt, rocks, and sand carried by a river.
What builds up layer after layer of sediments pile up on top of each other?
falling in water
How does deposition happen?
Deposition occurs when sediments, carried by wind, water, or ice, settle and accumulate in a new location. This process is typically driven by gravity, as the transported particles lose energy and come to rest. Over time, these deposited sediments can build up layers and form sedimentary rocks.
How does gravity contribute to deposition?
Gravity contributes to deposition by the sediments of rocks floating in the air and forming the rock cycle. Giggity Gravity contributes to deposition by the sediments of rocks floating in the air and forming the rock cycle. Giggity
Eroded materials carried by wind or water are called?
Eroded materials carried by wind or water are called sediment.
What is a brief summary of the section charateristics of clastic sediment in the Earth space science book?
Is determined by the way the sediments were transported to the place where they are deposited. Sediments have four main transported agents: Wind, Water, Gravity, and Ice. Sediments particles size can be carried and the distance is determined by the speed of that particle. Both the the distance of the sediments and the sediments agents determines the characteristics of that sediment.
Since humans have been present the amount of sediments carried by rivers has?
Since human appeared, the amount of sediments carried by rivers has increased dramatically
What pulls rock and sediments downhill?
gravity
How are dissolved particles of sediments carried In a river?
They are in solution.
What we called fine sand soil or mud which is carried alnog by river?
Sediment is dirt, rocks, and sand carried by a river.
What builds up layer after layer of sediments pile up on top of each other?
falling in water
What happened to sediments in the presence of gravity?
They sink to the bottom.
Why do heavier sediments get deposited before smaller sediments?
Heavier sediments are deposited before smaller sediments due to their greater mass and the influence of gravity. When sediment-laden water slows down, the larger particles, which require more energy to remain suspended, settle out first. As the flow continues to decrease, lighter particles can be carried further before settling. This process is known as sedimentary sorting, resulting in a stratified layering of sediments by size and weight.
Which Law deals with how sediments are laid down in water?
Gravity
What is gravity causing rock or sediments to move downhill?
erosion
