What four things can move sediments?
Water, wind, gravity, and ice can all move sediments from one place to another.
What is gravity causing rock or sediments to move downhill?
erosion
What objects can a glacier move as it travels outward or downward?
sediments, rocks, till, debris, and soil
How have sediments been transported over time?
Sediments have been transported over time through various natural processes such as erosion, weathering, and transportation by wind, water, glaciers, or gravity. These processes can move sediments from one location to another, shaping landscapes and depositing sediments in different environments. Eventually, these sediments can be compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
What type of rock form when glaciers move along mountains and break off sediments?
Glacial deposits may form when glaciers move along mountains and break off sediments. These deposits can include a variety of sediment types such as till, moraines, and erratic boulders. As the glacier moves, it erodes and transports these sediments, eventually depositing them once the glacier melts.
What happens to sediments as they move around?
The rocks will gradually get smaller
How do sediments move?
How do sediment move
Why are sediments deposited?
Sediments are deposited mainly due to the action of gravity, erosion, and transportation mechanisms such as water, wind, and glaciers. As these agents move sediment particles, they eventually settle in locations where the energy of the transporting agent decreases, like riverbeds, lake bottoms, or the ocean floor. Once the energy decreases sufficiently, the sediment particles are no longer kept in suspension and are deposited.
What four things can move sediments?
Water, wind, gravity, and ice can all move sediments from one place to another.
What happenes to these sediments as they move around?
Sediments move around due to the combination of the force of gravity acting on the sediment and or the movement of the fluid in which the sediment is entrained. Movement may either be made by air, water or ice. Sediment movement in fluids occurs in water bodies as a result of water currents and tides.

What is a force is responsible for a rivers capability to move sediments?
The force that is responsible for moving sediments in a river is the current.
What happens in asthenosphere?
It's where the plates of the lithosphere move around on, the plastic like layer of the asthenosphere. the plates move around on these
What happens when particles get heated?
they get excited and move around faster
Which type of mass movement occurs when sediments slowly move downhill because freezing and thawing?
The process in which sediments move slowly downhill, is called creep. It is common where freezing and thawing occur. As ice expands in soil, it pushed sediments up. Then as soil thaws, the sediments move farther downslope. Over time, creep can move large amounts of sediment, possibly causing damage to some structures
What is gravity causing rock or sediments to move downhill?
erosion
Which of the images shows sediments in motion What is causing it to move?
The second image shows sediments in motion. The movement is likely caused by the flow of water or the force of gravity on the slope where the sediments are located.
How do sediments move downstream?
Sediments move downstream through processes like erosion, transportation, and deposition by the force of water, wind, or ice. As water flows, it picks up and carries sediments, gradually depositing them as the energy of the water decreases. This continuous cycle of erosion, transportation, and deposition allows sediments to be transported downstream over time.
