Streams transport sediment in three ways.

1. in solution (dissolved load)

2. in suspension (suspended load)

3. scooting or rolling along the bottom (bed load)

How does material deposited by glaciers differ from material deposited by streams?

To answer this, think about the way water moves and how ice moves. Now think of steady fast-moving streams of water and massive hulking glaciers scraping across the land. Streams push sediments along and sort them into normalized groups. Sand is separated from stones of different sizes. Glacier pick up rocks in their slow progress and deposit them later as the ice melts. The streams' depositions are very regular; the glaciers' depositions are very irregular.


How do hydrogenous sediments form?

Hydrogenous sediments form when minerals precipitate directly from seawater as a result of chemical reactions or biological processes. For example, manganese nodules and phosphorite deposits are examples of hydrogenous sediments that form in this way in the deep sea. These sediments accumulate slowly over time on the ocean floor.


Why does a jet stream curve and bend?

Think about it this way. If it was flat then jet streams would be straight. But the Earth is round so jet streams are curved because of the curvature of the Earth.


Is active transport the only way substances can cross the intestinal membranes?

Diffusion too.


When rocks exposed they start to be eroded does the cycle start again?

Yes. The eroded particles can make their way - by streams and rivers to the oceans where they would form the seabed. Layer upon layer of such sediments would exert pressure on lower sediments so that these particles coalesced into sedimentary rock.You can also have metamorphic rocks which are formed under intense heat and pressure under the surface of the earth. For example, limestone is a sedimentary form of [mainly] calcium carbonate. Give it lots of heat and pressure and you get the metamorphic version: marble.Finally, there are rocks that for when the magma cools and solidifies. This could be at the boundaries of the earth's molten core or in volcanic ejecta.

Why are many towns and cities established near water?

Water is an easy way to transport of food, materials, etc. Rivers, lakes and streams are also sources of drinking water - and provide for agricultural needs.

How does a curve in a river affect the deposition of sediments?

I believe that the way it turns, it puts pressure on the rock and washes off pieces of sediments.


When are sediments transported by a river deposited?

Sediments carried by a river are typically deposited when the river's velocity decreases, such as in areas with gentle slopes, bends, or at the river's mouth where it meets a body of standing water like a lake or ocean. This decrease in velocity results in sediment settling out of the flow and accumulating on the riverbed.


What is a brief summary of the section charateristics of clastic sediment in the Earth space science book?

Is determined by the way the sediments were transported to the place where they are deposited. Sediments have four main transported agents: Wind, Water, Gravity, and Ice. Sediments particles size can be carried and the distance is determined by the speed of that particle. Both the the distance of the sediments and the sediments agents determines the characteristics of that sediment.

How the way in which wind and moving water reshape earths surface?

Wind and moving water reshape the Earth's surface through erosion, transport, and deposition of sediments. Wind can erode and transport sediments, leading to the formation of features like sand dunes, while moving water can carve out valleys, canyons, and river deltas through erosion and deposition processes. Over time, the combined action of wind and water can create diverse landforms such as mountains, coastlines, and plains.
