How are sediments in loess deposits from the sediments in a sand dune?
Loess is very fertile while sand is not
What is sand bits of rock and the remains of organisms called?
Sand is composed of small fragments of rock and minerals, as well as the remains of various organisms such as shells, coral, and skeletal debris. The combination of these materials gives sand its characteristic texture and composition.
Do shells turn into sand?
Shells do not turn into sand. Sand is generally formed from the breakdown and erosion of rocks, while shells are the hard outer coverings of marine animals made primarily of calcium carbonate. Shells can contribute to the makeup of sand as they break down over time, but they do not directly transform into sand.
What underlies the unconsolidated sediments of the sea floor?
Unconsolidated sediments on the sea floor often consist of a mix of materials such as sand, silt, and clay, along with biological debris like shells and organic matter. These sediments originate from erosion of rocks on land, volcanic activity, and deposition of materials carried by rivers and winds, accumulating over time. The composition of the sediments can vary depending on the location and ocean dynamics.

What are small pieces of sand and soil?
Small pieces of sand and soil are called sediment. Sediment is created through the breakdown of rocks, shells, and other materials, and can be transported and deposited by water, wind, or glaciers.

Why does sand form a sediment?
because sediments has sand in it

Silt and sand are examples of?
sediments
Is sand a form of sediments?
Yes, basically sand is a form of sediment.
Do shells turn into sand?
Shells do not turn into sand. Sand is generally formed from the breakdown and erosion of rocks, while shells are the hard outer coverings of marine animals made primarily of calcium carbonate. Shells can contribute to the makeup of sand as they break down over time, but they do not directly transform into sand.
What are three different types of marine sediments?
Terrigenous sediments, which originate from land and are composed of materials like sand, silt, and clay. Biogenous sediments, made up of the remains of marine organisms such as shells, coral, and diatoms. Hydrogenous sediments, formed from minerals that precipitate directly from seawater and include materials like manganese nodules and metal sulfides.
I put sand from myrtle beach in a Snapple bottle with ocean water and some sea shells to bring to my mom when I got home the sand had turned black and it smelled like rotten eggs when I opened it over time now the shells are black can you tell my why?
The steam
