What else can I help you with?
What is it called that builds up as layer after layer of sediments pile on top of each other?
Sedimentation.
Three ways in which sedimentary rocks differ from other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are made up of materials that were once part of another rock. Most sediments are deposited on ocean floors or at the bottom of rivers and lakes.Clastic sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediments. Pressure causes the water around the sediments to be squeezed out and the sediments are cemented together.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of erosion?
The sediments carried and deposited somewhere else build new things. Also natural arches are pretty landforms caused by wind erosion.
What is made when sediments fill in a cavity made when an object decayed and the sediments harden into rock?
Cast.
Who sang Build Me Up Buttercup on Glee?
An unknown guest star. The Characters Rachel and Finn
Where do Sediments tend to build up in the ocean?
Sediments build up in the Abyssal plain.
What are 2 ways that sediments build up?
Sediment can build up because of the wind or water.
How do moving sediments affects the channel of a stream?
The sediments build up on the floor of the stream, ocean, river, or lake and causes the water to lower.
What is a deposition of sediments?
Beach sand
What causes coral reefs?
The build up of sediments and debris left behind by the bodies of tiny organisms.
How do sediments lay when they deposit in lakes or oceans?
When sediments deposit in lakes or oceans, they typically settle in layers on the bottom of the body of water. Over time, these layers can build up and form sedimentary rock.
What sediments tend to form when transpoprted by water and wind?
unsorted deposition
What is a fact of deposition?
Deposition is the process where sediments, like sand and soil, are deposited by wind, water, or ice. Over time, these sediments can build up in layers and form sedimentary rocks. Erosion and weathering play a crucial role in depositing sediments in different environments.
Why does static charge not tend to build up on a conductor?
Static charge does not tend to build up on a conductor because charges on a conductor move freely due to the presence of free electrons. Any excess charge present redistributes itself on the surface of the conductor, neutralizing and eliminating the build-up of static charge.
Tiny bits of rock and dirt that build up on the bottoms of rivers and lakes are?
sediments. These sediments can vary in size from silt to pebbles, and they are carried by the flow of water and deposited on the river or lake bed. Over time, sediments can accumulate and create features such as deltas or riverbanks.
Where do the hydrogen ions build up?
Hydrogen ions tend to build up in the stomach. This buildup of hydrogen ions contributes to the acidic environment needed for digestion.
What is oceanic sedimentation?
Oceanic sedimentation is the process by which sediments accumulate on the ocean floor. These sediments can come from various sources such as eroded rocks on land, mineral debris from volcanic activity, or the remains of marine organisms. Over time, these sediments can build up layers, eventually forming sedimentary rocks.
