What else can I help you with?
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.
What are deposist formed from windblown dust called?
Wind deposition is when material (usually sand and dust), carried by the wind, is dropped out of the wind and settles on the surface. Such deposition usually results in sand dunes near the shore, or drifts of sand across a road making travel difficult until cleared.
Where does the dirt that covers or forms over the fossils in the strata of the earth come from?
The dirt and sediment that cover or form over fossils in the Earth's strata come from various sources such as weathering of rocks, erosion of land surfaces, and deposition of organic matter. Over time, these materials accumulate and bury the fossils, preserving them in layers of sediment for thousands or millions of years.
Why is wind the main agent of erosion in the desert?
Wind is the main agent of erosion in the desert because the lack of vegetation means there are fewer roots to hold the soil in place. Additionally, the dry climate in deserts often results in loose, fine-grained sediment that can be easily eroded by wind. The abrasive action of windblown sand and particles can wear away rocks and reshape the landscape over time.
Name the soil which is transported by winds?
Loess could be considered a windblown soil.
What is windblown and fine sediment called?
The answer to that question is loess
What is the name for windblown sediment?
What is the name for wind blown sediment
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.
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.
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.
When windblown sediments settle behind an obstacle what is created?
When windblown sediments settle behind an obstacle, they create a feature known as a dune. Dunes are typically formed as the wind slows down and loses its ability to carry the sediment, allowing it to accumulate in mounds or ridges. The shape and size of the dune can vary based on wind direction, sediment availability, and vegetation. These formations are common in desert environments and along coastlines.
