Lighter sediments are typically deposited closer to the source of the eroded material, such as near river mouths or in low-energy environments like lakes or offshore areas. These sediments tend to settle out first due to their smaller size and lower density compared to heavier sediments.
Sediments.
Beach sand
Sediments in outwash are typically well-sorted and composed of sand and gravel, deposited by meltwater streams flowing from glaciers. In contrast, sediments in moraines are unsorted and contain a mix of various sizes of rocks, debris, and till that has been directly deposited by the glacier. Outwash sediments are usually sorted by size and shape, while moraine sediments are unsorted and show a wider range of material types.
Sediments are deposited mainly due to the action of gravity, erosion, and transportation mechanisms such as water, wind, and glaciers. As these agents move sediment particles, they eventually settle in locations where the energy of the transporting agent decreases, like riverbeds, lake bottoms, or the ocean floor. Once the energy decreases sufficiently, the sediment particles are no longer kept in suspension and are deposited.
Glacial ice is the most probable agent of erosion that deposited unsorted sediments in deposit B. Glaciers can transport a wide range of sediment sizes and mix them together as they move, resulting in unsorted sediments.
The heaviest sediments like sand, small pebbles, and other detritus drop out of the current first. Lighter sediments like like silt are carried farther out.
Sediments directly deposited by the glacier are called till.
tons of thousands of sediments are deposited each day
Sediments.
After that it would be deposited when the flow of the river is too slow to carry it.
the correct answer is till. this sediment, deposited directly from glacier ice is till.
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.
The further from the delta, the finer the sediments deposited.
Alluvial deposits refer to sediments deposited by streams. These deposits are typically composed of sand, gravel, and silt that are carried and deposited by flowing water.
