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 builds up layer after layer of sediments pile up on top of each other?
falling in water
What is a deposition of sediments?
Beach sand
When windblown sediments pile up behined obstacles what are formed?
Dunes are formed when windblown sediments pile up behind obstacles like rocks or plants. The wind moves these sediments, causing them to accumulate on the downwind side of the obstacle, resulting in dune formation.
How do sediments make new landforms?
by building up in one place for example, a river along a street flows carrying sediment and sometimes there are rocks that are placed at the end of the river. the rocks stop the river at that one point and all the sediment rushing through builds up over time in one place.
What kinds of minerals end up as sediments?
Common minerals that end up as sediments include quartz, feldspar, clay minerals, calcite, and gypsum. These minerals are usually weathered from rocks and transported by water or wind to be deposited as sediments in various environments such as river deltas, beaches, or ocean floors.
Why does sediments end up in oceans?
Because oceans exist at the lowest points on the planet.
What happens to earth materials that have been eroder by a river?
They end up as sediments in lakes or seas.
What Sediments can be picked by?
Sediments can be picked up by wind, and water.

Is sandstone made up of the smallest sediments?
no
How can excess sediments in oceans affect marine organisms?
Yes, sediments do affect the ocean. There are a couple ways in which sediments affect the oceans. If too many sediments on the ocean floor get stirred up in the surface water it can potentially harm the water life by suffocating and killing the life. It can also make visibility worse and can harm commercial fishing corporations.
What is a build up of sediments at the end of the river?
Silt becomes built up at the mouth of rivers as it is deposited into larger bodies of water. Silt is composed of mineral rich soil which is excellent for crops.
A river system is made up of a river and its?
sediments
What sediments make up limestone?
It is usually quartz
Sediments tend to build up in the?
condimental shelf
What are the sediments that pile up forming dunes?
sandstone
