What else can I help you with?
What is the process of mineral rich water seeping around sediment and fusing the sediment pieces together called?
This is called cementation.
What is the process in which sediment is laid down is called?
When sediment is laid down, this is known as deposition. The sediment is unconsolidated and so it is not (yet) a rock.
What is a deep-water current containing a lot of sediment called?
Debree?
Electric current changes direction repeatedly is called?
AC current (alternating current) like in a wall outlet
What is the process in which sediment is deposited in layers is called?
The process in which sediment is deposited in layers is called sedimentation. This occurs when particles settle out of a transporting medium, such as water or wind, and accumulate over time to form distinct layers of sediment.
When sediment collects in an area it is called?
When sediment collects in an area, it is called sedimentation. This process occurs when particles settle out of a fluid and accumulate on a surface, forming layers of sediment over time.
What removes sand and other sediment from ground?
Wind removes sand and sediment from the ground in a process called deflation.
What removes sand other sediment from ground?
Wind removes sand and sediment from the ground in a process called deflation.
The squeezing of layers of sediment is called?
The squeezing of layers of sediment is called compaction. This process reduces the volume of sediment and removes water between particles, resulting in the formation of sedimentary rocks.
What is the fluid left above sediment after centrifugation called?
Centrifugation is the process of separating two immiscible liquids. The fluid which is above the sediment after centrifugation, is called the supernatant.
What is the name of the process in which sediment turn into rock?
The process is called lithification, which involves the compaction and cementation of sediment to form sedimentary rock.
What is the process of placing sediment in a new place called?
The process of placing sediment in a new place is called sediment deposition. This can occur through various natural processes such as erosion, transportation, and deposition by wind, water, or ice. Human activities like construction and dredging can also lead to sediment deposition in new locations.
