What is the sequence for sedimentary rocks?
Firstly the rocks are weathered and eroded from an area above ground. Then, they are usually transported down to the sea via rivers. Once they are deposited in the sea, a lot of different layers pile up on top of each other on the sea bed. The Layers are then buried deeper and compacted, to form a sedimentary rock. Hope this helped :)
The patterns of iron particles found in sea floor rocks result from what?
The patterns of iron particles found in sea floor rocks result from changes in the Earth's magnetic field over time. As the molten rock solidifies into rock, the iron particles align with the Earth's magnetic field at that time, creating unique patterns that can be used to study the history of the Earth's magnetic field and plate tectonics.
Is sandstone an igneous rock?
No. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock, composed of cemented grains of sand-sized sediment particles. Igneous rock is formed from the cooling of magma or lava.
Why is the sea taste salty?
Salt is dissolved from the earth and transported by rivers in seas/oceans.
Landforms created by wave erosion are?
Headland,Sea Cave, Sea Arch, Sea stack,and wave-cut cliff. EXAMPLE WITH SEA ARCH AND SEA STACK: A sea arch is formed when two caves on opposite sides of a headland join. The sea arch collapses when the waves & weathered sediment (rock particles),hit it continuously in which a sea stack is formed. the sea arch is then .eroded and deposited in a new place.
What are some ways products get transported?
Sea Road Rail Air
How does granite change as they're carried from mountain to sea?
Granite undergoes weathering and erosion as it is carried from the mountains to the sea. The rock gradually breaks down into smaller particles due to physical, chemical, and biological processes. These particles are transported by rivers and streams to the coast, where they may contribute to the formation of beaches or become part of the sedimentary rock cycle through deposition and lithification.
How do terrigenous sediments move from their source to the deep sea?
Due to long shore currents the suspended particles transported as a suspended load to the deep sea.
How does a igneous rock turn into an sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock, when exposed, will weather into smaller particles by mechanical and chemical means. Eventually the particles will be eroded and be transported by wind, water, ice, and gravity and eventually be deposited along with other sediments in a low lying area; could be the bottom of a sea, ocean or lake. As further and further sedimentation and accretion occur, the weight of overlying sediments compacts the particles, squeezing out air and water. Minerals then can bridge the gaps between particles, cementing them together into sedimentary rock.
How do bits of rock from a mountain get to the sea?
Bits of rock from a mountain can reach the sea through processes such as erosion, weathering, and transportation. These processes involve factors like wind, water, and ice breaking down and carrying the rock particles from the mountain to rivers or glaciers that eventually lead to the sea. Once in the sea, these rock particles may contribute to the formation of beaches or seabed sediments.

Why are there different color sands?
Sand is made up of crushed rock and sea-shells. The colour of the sand depends on what type of rock particles are in it.
What happens to the rock that is eroded from a headland?
The rock that is eroded from a headland is usually transported by erosion processes like waves and currents. It can be broken down into smaller particles and eventually deposited on nearby beaches or carried out to sea. Over time, this process helps shape the coastline and contribute to the formation of new landforms.
How is Samoa's goods transported?
By air and by sea
How is sediment different from sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks are the result of erosion, deposition, and cementation of various types of rock and rock particles. Igneous rock is the result of solidification of molten material. Metamorphic rocks are the result of temperature and/or pressure changes in a previously existing rock type.
The patterns of iron particles found in sea floor rocks result from what?

What are the four ways the sea moves material?
The four ways the sea moves material are through currents (flow of water), waves (energy transfer through water surface), tides (rise and fall of sea levels), and sediment transport (movement of particles along the seabed).
