What else can I help you with?
Near shore larger sand and gravel particles are moved along the ocean bottom by?
turbulence
What is rock formed from particles that have fallen to the bottom of a lake or ocean?
sediment builds up on the bottom of a lake of ocean and forms rocks or landforms
Why do particles carried by a river settle to the bottom as the river enters the ocean?
Particles settle at the mouth of a river when the river water mixes with the calmer ocean water, causing a decrease in flow velocity. This reduction in velocity leads to sediment settling as the river's capacity to transport particles decreases. Additionally, the ocean's higher salinity can also play a role in causing sediment particles to settle due to changes in water density.
How would particles from a snowman end up in the ocean?
how might the particles that make up a snowman end up in the ocean
Why the water of the ocean is salty?
When water goes to the ocean, most of the time its by a river. When rivers travel over land it picks up particles like salt. When the river meets the ocean at the rivers delta the slowing of the speed of the river causes the bigger sized particles to get deposited at the bottom of the ocean. The smaller particles(salt) remain in the water making the water salty.
What is layers of sediment forming at the bottom of the ocean called?
Layers of sediment forming at the bottom of the ocean are called "marine sediments." These sediments are made up of a variety of materials such as mineral particles, organic matter, and remains of marine organisms, which accumulate over time to form distinct layers.
Is layers of sediment forming at the bottom of the ocean weathering or erosion?
Layers of sediment forming at the bottom of the ocean are mainly due to erosion. Erosion involves the movement of sediments from one location to another, in this case, to the ocean floor. Weathering, on the other hand, refers to the breakdown of rock and soil into smaller particles.
An example of deposition?
An example of deposition is when sediments settle and accumulate at the bottom of a river or ocean over time, forming layers of sedimentary rock. This process occurs as the energy of moving water decreases, allowing particles to be deposited and build up into solid rock formations.
Where can you find a map of the ocean floor?
Download google earth. In layers on right bottom select OCEAN
How do solid particles become part of earths atmosphere?
Solid particles such as dust get into the air when wind picks them up and carries them. Other particles such as salt are picked up by ocean spray.
Which bathymetric technique differentiates between multiple layers of the ocean bottom?
Seismic reflection
Why do particles settle on the bottom when river enters the ocean?
The particles are heavier than water and sink instead of floating.
What are the oceans layers?
The ocean layers are sunlit, twilight, midnight,and Abyss
What do sea scallops eat?
plankton and detritus (fallen particles from the ocean that collect at the bottom)
Rock formed from particles that have fallen to the bottom of a lake or ocean?
I have no idea I was kind of looking for the answer
