What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the process that breaks large pieces of rock into small piece of sediment?
its called weathering, or erosion
What is the largest piece of sediment?
A boulder is the largest piece of sediment.
What rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion?
Any and all rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion.
How do sedimentary rock embed organisms?
When organisms died in a river or stream of some sort, they are covered in a layer of sediment, as time gos by the sediment hardens and is covered by another layer of sediment and so on.
Is a sediment rock?
Sediment is the stuff that settles at the bottom of a liquid (such as the bottom of a pond). It can include sand and pebbles but also dead plants and animals. If conditions are right, the sediment can dry out and turn into a sedimentary rock (a rock made from sediment). Sedimentary rocks can contain fossils of plants or animals that fell into the "muck" at the bottom of a body of water. Cool, huh?
What is windblown and fine sediment called?
The answer to that question is loess
Fine-grained windblown sediment?
a rock
What is another name for windblown soil?
Loess is another name for windblown soil. It is a type of sediment consisting of loose, fine-grained particles that have been carried by the wind and deposited over time.
What term is used to identify windblown sediment of silt and clay?
Wind blown sediment is known as 'Aeolian.'
What is a windblown silt that blankets a landscape?
loess
When particls of fine windblown sediment settle out of the air and become packed the resulting deposit is called?
Loess
Is Crowley's Ridge related with any earthquakes or volcanoes?
No, the ridge is primarily composed of the windblown glacially derived sediment.
What term is used to identify a windblown sediment of silt and clay?
Soils deposited by wind are known as loess soils.
When particles of fine windblown sediment settle out of the air and become packed the resulting deposit is called what?
The resulting deposit is called loess.
What is a thick deposits of windblown fine grained sediments called?
A thick deposit of windblown fine-grained sediments is called loess. This sediment is typically uniform, composed of silt-sized particles, and can be found covering large areas of land.
Inputs of nitrates into ecosystems do NOT come from?
Rainfall or precipitation. All input comes from runoff from the land, from rivers or erosional windblown sediment. Products of microorganisms and fertilizer in our soils.
When does wind-carried sediment fall to the ground?
Wind-carried sediment falls to the ground when wind slows down or some obstacle, such as a boulder or clump of grass, traps the windblown sand and other sediment. When it comes into contact with any obstacle.
