Neritic sediments are the unconsolidated particles, such as sand, silt, and clay, that accumulate in the shallow waters of the continental shelf. These sediments are typically derived from the erosion of land and then transported by rivers or currents to the nearshore marine environment. Neritic sediments play a crucial role in the marine ecosystem and can provide important habitats for various organisms.
What else can I help you with?
What is The part of the ocean that extends from the high tide line to the low tide line?
nertic
How do lithogenous sediments differ from biogenous sediments?
Lithogenous sediments come from the land They result primarily from erosion by water, wind, and ice Biogenous sediments originate from organisms The particles in these sediments come from shells and hard skeletons. Although lithogenous sediments represent the largest total volume, biogenous sediments cover a greater area of sea floor
What Sediments can be picked by?
Sediments can be picked up by wind, and water.
What is it called when sediments are squeeze by the weight of overlying sediments?
The process of sediments being squeezed by the weight of overlying sediments is called "compaction." This occurs during the lithification of sedimentary rocks, where the pressure from the accumulating layers compresses the sediments, reducing their volume and expelling water. Compaction is a key step in transforming loose sediments into solid rock.
When sediments are squeezed together by the weight of sediments and rocks on top of them what is it called?
pp
What are some examples structural adaptation?
nertic sediments
Why does the nertic zone contain the largest concentration of marine life?
marine life
What are the three types of the ocean floor sediments?
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.
What is The part of the ocean that extends from the high tide line to the low tide line?
nertic
When sediments are slowly changed to rock what forces the sediments together?
Pressure of water and other sediments.
Sediments derived primarily from the products of weathering on the continents are called?
terrigenous or continental sediments
How do lithogenous sediments differ from biogenous sediments?
Lithogenous sediments come from the land They result primarily from erosion by water, wind, and ice Biogenous sediments originate from organisms The particles in these sediments come from shells and hard skeletons.

What are the three types of ocean sediments?
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.
What is the difference between sediments in the outwash and sediments in the moraines?
Sediments in outwash are typically well-sorted and composed of sand and gravel, deposited by meltwater streams flowing from glaciers. In contrast, sediments in moraines are unsorted and contain a mix of various sizes of rocks, debris, and till that has been directly deposited by the glacier. Outwash sediments are usually sorted by size and shape, while moraine sediments are unsorted and show a wider range of material types.
Compare and contrast clastic sediments with chemical sediments?

Rock and soil deposited by streams are called?
Sediments.
What Sediments can be picked by?
Sediments can be picked up by wind, and water.
