The sediment layer is typically found at the bottom of water bodies or on land, where particles settle out of suspension due to gravity. It accumulates over time as a result of erosion, weathering, and other natural processes. Sediment layers can vary in thickness and composition depending on the location and the geological history of the area.
What else can I help you with?
What is an underground layer of rock or sediment that allows water to flow through?
its the fequair layer
A permeable layer in which water is trapped?
An aquifer is a permeable layer of rock or sediment that can store and transmit water underground. Groundwater is naturally stored within the spaces in the aquifer, such as between rock or sediment grains, allowing for the trapping of water within the layer.
What has to happen before a rock layer can be deposited?
Before a rock layer can be deposited, the area must undergo erosion and weathering. This breaks down existing rocks into sediment which can then be transported and deposited in a new location. The process of deposition occurs when the sediment settles into a new location and forms a layer over time.
When looking at layers of sediment which is the newest layer of rock?
The newest layer of sedimentary rock is typically found at the top of the sequence. This follows the principle of superposition, which states that in undisturbed layers, older layers are located below younger ones. Therefore, when examining sediment layers, the topmost layer represents the most recent deposition.
The law of thermodynamics says that the oldest layer of sediments will be found beneath younger layers of sediment?
true A+
What is layer of deposited layer of rock and soil?
i think its sediment
What layer of organic sediment?
Peat
What is a layer of a organic sediment?
peat
How do sedimentary rock embed organisms?
When organisms died in a river or stream of some sort, they are covered in a layer of sediment, as time gos by the sediment hardens and is covered by another layer of sediment and so on.
How sedimentary rocks form from sediments?
sediment gathers up then the water in the sediment starts to evaporate. Compaction and Cementation happens then forms layer after layer.
What is an underground layer of rock or sediment that allows water to flow through?
its the fequair layer
What is the lowest layer of sediment?
The lowest layer of sediment is called bedrock. Bedrock is the solid rock that lies beneath soil and sediment layers and serves as the foundation for the Earth's crust. It is typically composed of igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rock that has not been significantly weathered or eroded.
A permeable layer in which water is trapped?
An aquifer is a permeable layer of rock or sediment that can store and transmit water underground. Groundwater is naturally stored within the spaces in the aquifer, such as between rock or sediment grains, allowing for the trapping of water within the layer.
What is a mold and cast fossil?
A mold and cast fossil is and exact stone replica of an organism but it is formed like this. The first layer of sediment hardens and forms a mold. then a new layer of sediment fills in the mold and hardens. That is the cast.
Which forms first a fossil mold or a fossil cast?
First, a thin layer of sediment hardens and forms a mold. Then, what is known as a cast is when a new layer of sediment fills in the mold breaking down the creature/ animal/fossil.
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 has to happen before a rock layer can be deposited?
Before a rock layer can be deposited, the area must undergo erosion and weathering. This breaks down existing rocks into sediment which can then be transported and deposited in a new location. The process of deposition occurs when the sediment settles into a new location and forms a layer over time.
