When the energetic wind or water loses its energy, the force of gravity will dominate, causing deposition of the sedimentary particles.

In lowland areas wind and water deposit sediments that form thick soils?

no


What are the materials deposited by water wind and melting glaciers?

Water can deposit sediment such as sand, silt, and clay. Wind can deposit smaller particles like sand and dust. Melting glaciers can deposit a mixture of rocks, sediments, and debris known as moraines.


Does wind and water deposit sediments that form thick soil in lowland areas?

No, it doesn't. That's all I can say.


Sediments left behind by moving wind or water?

sediments left behind by moving water or wind


What Sediments can be picked by?

Sediments can be picked up by wind, and water.


Which erosional agent typically deposit hills of inspected sediments?

Wind is a common erosional agent that can deposit hills of unsorted sediments called dunes. These dunes are often found in arid or coastal regions where wind can transport and deposit sand or silt to form distinct mound-like features.


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.


Water and wind are two forces that cause?

Water and wind are two forces that cause erosion. Water can wear away rocks and soil through processes like rivers and waves, while wind can transport and deposit sediments through processes like abrasion and suspension.


In what ways are sediments transported?

By water or wind


How are these sediments transported to new locations?

Sediments are transported to new locations primarily through natural processes such as water, wind, and ice. In rivers and streams, flowing water erodes sediment from the landscape and carries it downstream. Wind can lift and move fine particles over long distances, while glaciers can drag and deposit sediments as they advance and retreat. Additionally, coastal processes like waves and currents can redistribute sediments along shorelines.


What cause wind to deposit sand or other sediments?

When the wind starts to slow down it starts to deposit sand or other sediment.


What are ways deposition can happen?

Deposition can happen through processes such as erosion, where wind or water carry sediments and deposit them in a new location. It can also occur through the settling of particles from a fluid (i.e., sedimentation), such as when a river slows down and drops its sediment load. Glaciers can also deposit sediments as they flow and melt.
