What sediments are likely to be eroded?
Sediments that are loosely packed, fine-grained, or located in areas with high water flow or wave action are more likely to be eroded. Additionally, sediments that have been disturbed by human activities or natural processes like intense rainfall or ice melt can also be easily eroded.
Sediments that consist of mineral grains that were eroded from continental rocks are called .?
hydrates
What are made of sediments that have been weathered and eroded from minerals dissolved in sea water?
sedimentation
Is it true that Eroded sediments pushed in front of a glacier are called moraines?
Yes, that is true. Moraines are piles of eroded sediments that are pushed in front of a glacier as it moves, either as a result of the glacier plucking rocks and debris as it moves or as it deposits material carried by the ice.
What one sedimentary process makes conglomerate and breccia rocks different?
Conglomerate rocks are formed from rounded particles, while breccia rocks are formed from angular particles. This difference in particle shape is due to the transportation and deposition processes that these sediments undergo before forming rocks.
How do sediments become sedimentary rocks?
When sedimentary rock is weathered in nature by chemical or mechanical means, the particles that are produced can be eroded and deposited, becoming sediments.
Are there any rivers that deposit and eroded sediments?
Most rivers have eroded and Deposited sediment.

When rocks eroded they break down into smaller pieces of rocks and minerals called?
Sedimentation
What are smaller pieces or rocks and minerals called when eroded?
Sediments
Sediments eroded from mountainsides and transported in streams are an example of the conservation of?
Sediments eroded from mountainsides and transported in streams are an example of the conservation of mass. The total amount of sediment that is eroded from the mountainside remains constant as it is transported by streams to other locations.
Wind erodes rock and deposits sediments to form what?
Piles of eroded sediments. Which may or may not become sedimentary rock over time.
The eroded materials carried by water or wind are called?
Sediment
What percent of the sediments eroded from the continents reach beyond coastal regions to the continental shelf and slope?
Approximately 15-20% of sediments eroded from the continents reach beyond coastal regions to the continental shelf and slope. The majority of eroded sediments tend to accumulate and deposit near the coast due to factors such as wave action and currents.
Eroded materials carried by wind or water are called?
Eroded materials carried by wind or water are called sediment.
What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
