What else can I help you with?
A student buries an ice cube in a pan of dirt and observes the dirt as the ice cube melts This activity is a model activity of the formation of an?
This activity models the formation of sedimentary rock, where loose sediment (in this case, the dirt) compacts and solidifies over time, similar to how the melted ice cube solidifies. Through this process, layers of sediment build up and harden into rock, just like the layers of dirt surrounding the ice cube.
What collects sediment to reduce the chance of clogged gas valves on combustion appliances?
A sediment trap or dirt leg is typically installed upstream of gas valves on combustion appliances to collect and prevent sediment from reaching and clogging the valve. This trap allows the sediment to settle out before it reaches the valve, reducing the risk of clogs and ensuring the proper operation of the appliance. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the sediment trap are important to ensure its effectiveness.
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 are dinosaur bones only in sedimentary rock instead of igneous rock?
Because ingenious rock is a type of rock, sedimentary hardens over time with the sediment(gravel, rocks, dirt) inside it. So in this case the fossils or dinosaur bones harden over time into the sediment and form into the rock.
How can water erosion uncover fossils?
The rain water washes away the dirt that is covering the fossil.

What are the tiny particles of dirt called?

The dirt or topsoil carried by running water is called slope?

What does the nile river carry with it as it rushes north?
dirt and sediment, billions of tons.
What is the term for bits of rock and dirt?
The term is sediment. Sediment is made up of small pieces of rock, mineral, and organic material that have been broken down by weathering and erosion processes.
What are the main ways sediment enters a river?
On flood planes the water erodes away the banks of the river. The Eroded dirt and sediment fall into the river.
What causes brown brook water?
from the water picking up brown sediment, i.e. dirt
What we called fine sand soil or mud which is carried alnog by river?
Sediment is dirt, rocks, and sand carried by a river.
Difference between soil sediment and dirt?
Soil sediment refers to particles that have been eroded and deposited by water, wind, or ice, typically found in bodies of water or at the base of mountains. Dirt is a more colloquial term that refers to any soil or grime on surfaces, often used to describe unwanted or unclean particles. Ultimately, soil sediment is a specific type of soil fraction, while dirt is a broadly used term.
