sediment is basically eroded rocks and other materials that have became weathered down to almost nothing. so when the wind blows or rain falls on something, it breaks down and then it just gets in the soil or whatever.
the shape and size of sediments.
erosion
if you empty out the fallen in sediments that have built in you could stop pond succession...at least temporarily
Palynology is the study of dust. These people gather samples of water, air, and sediments. To become one who studies this, one must go to college and obtain a degree.
Yes, this would be a "trace fossil" or "ichnofossil". They can be very useful when studying the environment of the sediments from which the rock is formed. HTH Dr. C. :)
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.
Pressure of water and other sediments.
terrigenous or continental sediments
Lithogenous sediments come from the land They result primarily from erosion by water, wind, and ice Biogenous sediments originate from organisms The particles in these sediments come from shells and hard skeletons. Although lithogenous sediments represent the largest total volume, biogenous sediments cover a greater area of sea floor

Sediments.
Sediments can be picked up by wind, and water.
sediments
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.
In disturbed sediments without layers, the relative age of the sediments would be unknown.
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.
