A bluff or bank.
What else can I help you with?
What is a long ridge of sediments deposited alongside a river channel called?
the oak ridges
A narrow winding ridge composed of out wash deposited in a tunnel or channel cut into stagnant glacial ice?
An eskers
What forms an esker?
An esker is formed by the deposition of sediments carried by meltwater from a retreating glacier. As the glacier melts, the sediment is deposited in a sinuous ridge-like formation. Eskers are typically composed of sand and gravel.
How do the sediments on the ocean floor vary in relation to an ocean ridge?
Sediments become thicker away from the mid ocean ridge. This is because the oceanic crust away from the mid ocean ridge is older than the crust close to it, so sediment has had more time to accumulate.
What are the youngest sediments found compared to the mid-Atlantic ridge?
The youngest sediments found near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are typically associated with the oceanic crust formed at the ridge itself, which is less than a few million years old. These sediments primarily consist of pelagic clay, biogenic material, and volcanic ash, accumulating as the seafloor spreads. The rate of sedimentation is relatively low, meaning that the youngest sediments are generally found closest to the ridge and become progressively older with distance from it.
The sediment deposited at the edge of a glacier forms a ridge called a?
Moraine.
Does the thickness of ocean floor sediments decrease with distance from an ocean ridge?
yes
What is the sediment deposited by the edge of a glacier forms a ridge called?
It is known as moraine.
Is long ridge formed by boulders carried and deposited by a glacier moraine?

Ridge consisting of unsorted sediments deposited at the sides of a glacier?
Such ridges are referred to as lateral moraines. As a glacier moves, it shears debris, such as rock and soil, on both sides, and this unsorted sediment forms ridges along the edges of the glacier.
What French word is a ridge of sediments gravel silt and other materials built up along a stream or built by engineers along the edges its channel in a flood plain area?
It's called a Levee.une digue ?grout
How does the age of seafloor sediments change the increasing distance from the ocean ridge?
age increases
