In what order are sediments deposited by running water that slows down?
Boulders-cobbles-pebbles-sand-silt-clay
A conglomerate is a rock that forms as result of?
Conglomerate forms as a result of the consolidation of sediments which contain rounded pebbles, cobbles, or even boulders of rocks of various types. The rocks that make up the conglomerate are compacted and are cemented together by silica, clay, iron, or calcitic mineral cements which bind all of the clasts together.
What are rocks that are made up of pebbles cemented together with other sediments?
If the pebbles are rounded, then the rock is a conglomerate. If the pebbles have sharper edges, the the rock is a breccia. Both are types of sedimentary rock.
What are two different sediment type examples?
Two different sediment types are sand, which is composed of small mineral particles ranging from 0.0625 to 2 millimeters in size, and clay, which consists of ultra-fine mineral particles smaller than 0.002 millimeters. These sediments commonly accumulate in rivers, lakes, and oceans through erosion and weathering processes.
What Can be found in sedimentary?
Fossils, sand grains, rocks, pebbles, boulders, clay particles, calcite, ancient plant debris--all depending on the rock's formation.
Which landscape region is a flat plain consisting mainly of unsorted Clay's gravels sands scratched pebble boulders and cobbles?
The landscape region described is likely a glacial outwash plain or a glacial till plain. These areas are formed by the deposition of materials such as clay, gravel, sand, and larger rocks (boulders and cobbles) as glaciers retreat. The unsorted nature of the sediments is characteristic of glacial activity, where mixed sizes of debris are left behind. Such plains can be found in regions formerly covered by glaciers.
What sedimentary rock is measured by the wentworth scale of grain?
The Wentworth Scale commonly measures grains of boulders, cobble, gravel, pebbles, sand, silt, clay and calloid.
What are four grain sizes in order from smallest to largest?
1)Clay-sized 2)Silt-sized 3)Sand-sized 4)Pebbles
What is a ground up rock and boulders in a hard stony clay called?
A ground up rock and boulders in a hard stony clay is commonly referred to as gravel or rocky clay soil.
The boulders sand clay and silt that drop from a glacier when it retreats are called what?
The material left behind by a retreating glacier, including boulders, sand, clay, and silt, is known as moraine.
What kind of earth materials does erosion create?
Erosion can create various earth materials, including sediments like sand, silt, and clay, as well as larger materials like boulders and cobbles. These materials are transported by erosion and eventually deposited in new locations, shaping the landscape over time.
What are moraines basically made up of is it clay and rock?
Moraines are primarily made up of a mixture of rocks, gravel, sand, and clay that have been transported and deposited by glaciers. The composition of moraines can vary depending on the materials picked up by the glacier as it moves and the processes by which they are deposited.
