During what is sediment deposited in bodies of water and other low lying areas?

Sediment is typically deposited in bodies of water and low-lying areas during flooding events, when the water flow slows down and sediments carried by the water settle out due to gravity. Sediment can also be deposited gradually over time through erosion and weathering processes.


Why are inland areas warmer during the day?

Inland areas are warmer during the day because they do not have the cooling effect of nearby large bodies of water. Water has a higher specific heat capacity, so it takes longer to heat up and cool down compared to land. Inland areas also have less moisture in the air, which allows for more direct heating by the sun.


Which does Not describe a physical change happening to water?

A chemical bond breaking.


What is happening when the cells starts to swell up in water?

The process of osmosis is occurring.


What statement describes what is happening at a high tide?

At high tide, the water level in the ocean or a body of water rises significantly due to the gravitational pull of the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun. This phenomenon causes coastal areas to experience a temporary inundation, with water covering more of the shoreline. High tide occurs roughly every 12 hours, alternating with low tide, and is influenced by the shape of the coastline and local topography. During this time, marine life may be more active, and certain habitats, such as tidal pools, are affected by the changing water levels.
