What else can I help you with?
Ferrigenous sediment orignates where?
Ferrigenous sediment originates from the erosion of iron-rich minerals, such as hematite and magnetite, in rocks on land. This sediment is then transported by rivers and streams to the ocean, where it can accumulate on the seafloor.
Wind transported sediment are called?
Wind transported sediment is known as "aeolian sediment."
Particles that settle from water are called what?
Particles that settle from water are called sediment.
What is the process of mineral rich water seeping around sediment and fusing the sediment pieces together called?
This is called cementation.
What are the large landmasses in the ocean called?
Large landmasses in the ocean are called continents. These are massive areas of land that are surrounded by water bodies like seas and oceans. Examples of continents include Africa, Asia, and North America.
What is the sediment called that is derived primarily from the products of weathering on the continents?
The sediment derived primarily from the products of weathering on the continents is called terrigenous sediment. It includes materials like quartz, feldspar, and clay that are eroded from rocks on land and transported to the oceans by rivers, wind, or glaciers.
What type of sediment dominates the seafloor adjacent to continents?
Terrigenous sediment, which consists of material eroded from the continents such as sand, silt, and clay, dominates the seafloor adjacent to continents. This sediment is transported to the ocean by rivers, wind, and glaciers, and accumulates near the continental margins. It is one of the most common types of sediment found in the world's oceans.
Where do you think sediment originates from in natural environments?
Sediment in natural environments typically originates from the weathering and erosion of rocks and soil. This process involves the breaking down of rocks and soil into smaller particles, which are then transported by water, wind, or ice to different locations where they accumulate as sediment.
Ferrigenous sediment orignates where?
Ferrigenous sediment originates from the erosion of iron-rich minerals, such as hematite and magnetite, in rocks on land. This sediment is then transported by rivers and streams to the ocean, where it can accumulate on the seafloor.
What is the sediment a river carries called?
It's called transportation.
The material moved by erosion is called what?
The material that is moved by erosion is called Sediment.
What was it called when the continents were together?
When the continents were together it was called "pangea"
What are the rock and soil deposits by streams called?
Sediment
What is windblown and fine sediment called?
The answer to that question is loess
How do glaciers deposit sediment?
Its deposits sediment by picking the sediment up which is called plucking.(weathering)
Large bodies of land are called what?
Continents, Islands
The energy of an earthquake called seismic waves originates from a point called the?
the energy of an earthquake, called seismic waves,originates from a point called the ? epicenter
