The process in which sediments moves slowly downhill mean?
Erosion.
Do glaciers move fast or slow downhill?
Glaciers move very slowly.
What type of rock is made up of slowly buried sediments that were later cemented together by dissolved minerials?
sedimentary rock
What type of rock is made up of slowly buried sediments that were later cemented together by dissolved minerals?
Sedimentary rock is formed from sediments are piled on top of one another, then compacted and cemented into rocks. Sandstone and limestone are examples of sedimentary rocks.
How gravity effects glaciers?
The mutual forces of gravitational attraction between a glacier and the Earth cause the glacier to slowly 'flow' downhill. Also, if any of the ice should melt underneath the glacier, then the resulting liquid water flows similarly downhill, although faster than the ice does.
Which type of mass movement occurs when sediments slowly move downhill because freezing and thawing?
The process in which sediments move slowly downhill, is called creep. It is common where freezing and thawing occur. As ice expands in soil, it pushed sediments up. Then as soil thaws, the sediments move farther downslope. Over time, creep can move large amounts of sediment, possibly causing damage to some structures
Wicth type of mass movement occurs when sediments slowly move downhill because of freezeing and thawing?
creep
The process in which sediments moves slowly downhill mean?
Erosion.
What is the soil moving slowly downhill called?
Erosion. More specifically in soils this is likely to be creep or solifluction. These are types of mass wasting.
When sediments are slowly changed to rock what forces the sediments together?
Pressure of water and other sediments.
What are all the ways rock will move downhill?
If you put a rock on a hill, the gravity of the ground will slowly make it move downhill.
Soil moving slowly downhill sounds like jeep?
Erosion
Do glaciers move fast or slow downhill?
Glaciers move very slowly.
What is the process that slowly moves sediments fron one location to another?
Erosion
Why does your world dot com keep freezing?
try going slowly on it
Where does a River erode sediment?
sediments are transported by ocean rift, streams, river currents, wind (air). they are deposited according to size. The largest sediments are deposited first. The sediments settle into the sand and are carried by the stream. Near the mouth of the stream where the water moves slowly the small sediments settle out. The larger sediments get carried by the river into the sea then the samller sediments. The sea water dissolved minerals and soak the sediments and cement together. This eventually forms sediments.
