What else can I help you with?
In stratified layers of layers of sedimentary what is it called when sediment settles on the bottom and the large grains settle on top?
Reverse Grading.
Where are rock sediments usually deposited in nature mean?
Boulders fracture into large rocks. Ice, thawing, and wind break apart the rock even more until it is sediment. Sediment gets picks up by streams and rivers. As sediment is compacted, it again begins to form rock.Interesting fact: Sediment from the Appalachian Mountains in the east have been found in cliff faces of the Rocky Mountains in the west, carried there by streams and rivers.
What was the seneca tribes longhouses made of?
The Seneca Tribe's longhouses are large wooden frames covered with pieces of elm bark and saplings.
Why are large scree slopes found under cliffs and mountainous areas?
A scree slope is caused by weather erosion breaking off pieces of rock from the cliff and mountain-side.
How does a iceberg exist?
An iceberg forms when a large chunk of ice breaks off from a glacier or an ice shelf, a process known as calving. As the ice detaches, it floats in the ocean, with approximately 90% of its mass submerged underwater. Icebergs primarily exist in polar regions, where the cold temperatures allow them to maintain their solid form. Over time, they can drift and melt due to warmer ocean temperatures and exposure to sunlight.
What is the formation of large rock from particles of sediment that occurs as pressure is applied?
What is the process in which rocks ate broken down into smaller pieces by ice, water
What is The formation of large rocks from particles of sediment that occurs as pressure is applied?

What sedimentary rock is made of large angular pieces of sediment?
conglomerate
By what process are large pieces of food broken down into smaller pieces?
saliva i guest
Digestion breaks down large pieces of food into?
Digestion breaks down large pieces of food into smaller molecules, primarily nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. This process occurs through mechanical and chemical means, involving enzymes and digestive juices that facilitate the breakdown. Ultimately, these smaller molecules are absorbed by the body to provide energy, support growth, and maintain overall health.
Weathering turns what into what?
rocks; soil
How do glaciers impact weathering?
Glaciers impact weathering by grinding rock surfaces as they move, a process known as abrasion. This can break down rocks into smaller pieces, accelerating the weathering process. Additionally, as glaciers melt, they release large amounts of sediment that can further weather surrounding rocks.
What is it called when large masses of rock are broken down into smaller pieces?
The process of breaking down large masses of rock into smaller pieces is called weathering. This can occur through physical, chemical, or biological processes. Physical weathering involves the mechanical breakdown of rocks, while chemical weathering alters the minerals within the rocks. Together, these processes contribute to the formation of soil and sediment.
What is the process of detrifying?
The breakdown of organisms into large pieces of organic matter (detritus)
The process by which large pieces of food are cut and crushed into smaller pieces is called?
Mastication, known in common vernacular as chewing. (Mechanical digestion)
Which process breaks down large food molecules into smaller molecules using enzymes?
Chemical digestion
What breaks rock up into tiny pices?
Weathering is the process that breaks down rocks into tiny pieces. This can happen through physical weathering (such as ice wedging or abrasion) or chemical weathering (like acid rain or oxidation). Over time, these processes can turn large rocks into smaller fragments, a key step in soil formation.
