What else can I help you with?
Particles that settle from water are called what?
Particles that settle from water are called sediment.
What is the process of mineral rich water seeping around sediment and fusing the sediment pieces together called?
This is called cementation.
What are pieces of material carried by water called?
Sediment.
What are the small bits of weathered rock that settle to the bottom of bodies of water?
Those are called sediment or sediment particles. Sediment can consist of various sizes of weathered rocks, minerals, and organic matter that settle at the bottom of bodies of water over time.
What is the build-up of sand and mud deposits at the mouth of a river called?
That is called a delta. Deltas form when sediment carried by the river is deposited due to reduced water flow or when it meets another body of water, causing the sediment to settle and accumulate over time.
Is the water in a stream called sediment?
No, the solids the water carries is the sediment.
Particles that settle from water are called what?
Particles that settle from water are called sediment.
What is it called when water deposits sediment?
deposition
What is dropping of sediment from wind or water that slows down or ice that melts called?
The dropping of sediment from wind or water that slows down is called sediment deposition. When ice melts and releases sediment it carries, it is known as glacial meltwater sedimentation.
When does water float and why does it float?
Water floats when it is in the solid phase, called ice. Ice floats because the density of ice is less than the density of water.
What is the process of mineral rich water seeping around sediment and fusing the sediment pieces together called?
This is called cementation.
What are pieces of material carried by water called?
Sediment.
What is the property of buoyancy that describes how an object floats on top of water?
The property of buoyancy that describes how an object floats on top of water is called "Archimedes' Principle."
What are the small bits of weathered rock that settle to the bottom of bodies of water?
Those are called sediment or sediment particles. Sediment can consist of various sizes of weathered rocks, minerals, and organic matter that settle at the bottom of bodies of water over time.
What is the clear liquid above the sediment called?
The fluid above the sediment after centrifugation is called the supernatant.
What is called when sediment is laid down in a body of water?
We use the term deposition to describe the process by which sediment is laid down in a body of water. The sediment is said to have been deposited at the bottom of the body of water, and more may follow to build a layer of sediment.
What is dropping of sediment after it is moved?
The dropping of sediment after it is moved is called sediment deposition. This process occurs when the energy of the water or wind carrying the sediment decreases, causing it to settle and be deposited on the ground or at the bottom of a body of water.
