Is an erosion a purely destructive for or does it have constructive aspects as well?
The sediments moved away by erosion accumulate somewhere else, such as at the mouth of a river, forming a delta. In this sense, erosion has constructive aspects.
What do sedimentary rocks have that allow oil and gas to accumulate in them?
Oil and gas does not accumulate in sedimentary rocks. What happens is that animals or plants die, and their fossils become covered with layers of sediments (dirt and stuff). Over millions of years, after many many layers have built up, those sediments become rock, and the pressure of all that rock on the fossils slowly turns them into oil. That's why oil is considered a fossil fuel. Oil and gas does not accumulate in sedimentary rocks.

What is the difference between sediments in the outwash and sediments in the moraines?
Sediments that are in outwash are sorted sediments, organized by size, while sediments that are in moraine are unsorted.
What is the chemical sediments?
Chemical sediments are mineral precipitate :)
What is deposition in weathering?
The dropping of the sediments or DEPOSITING the sediments
When sediments land or settle?
They accumulate and gather up into thick layers, which with time get compacted and lithified to form sedimentary rock.
What are three sizes of sediments?
i dont know the answer thats why im asking you!
They poop everywhere dont they?
not usually
How do the sediments on the ocean floor vary in relation to an ocean ridge?
Sediments become thicker away from the mid ocean ridge. This is because the oceanic crust away from the mid ocean ridge is older than the crust close to it, so sediment has had more time to accumulate.
Molds filled with sediments sometimes produce?
Molds and casts may be produced when sediments fill molds left by decayed organisms.
How fast does the abyssal plains accumulate dead plants and animals?

How are sand dunes formed formed?
they are formed when wind lifts up dry sediments and accumulate over time Sand dunes are big piles of sand washed up from the beach
