Marine sediments are typically terrigenous in nature, which means they came from the land. Sediments that originate from the continents are called terrigenous.
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 is known as "aeolian sediment."
Particles that settle from water are called sediment.
This is called cementation.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
It's called transportation.
The material that is moved by erosion is called Sediment.
When the continents were together it was called "pangea"
Sediment
The answer to that question is loess
Its deposits sediment by picking the sediment up which is called plucking.(weathering)
Continents, Islands
the energy of an earthquake, called seismic waves,originates from a point called the ? epicenter
