A jumble of many sizes of sediment is typically referred to as "conglomerate." This sedimentary rock is composed of various clastic particles, ranging from gravel to sand and silt, often cemented together by minerals. Conglomerates form in environments where water or ice can transport and deposit diverse sediments, creating a mixture of different grain sizes. This rock type provides valuable insights into past geological processes and environments.
The four types of sediment sizes are gravel (larger than 2 mm), sand (0.0625–2 mm), silt (0.004–0.0625 mm), and clay (smaller than 0.004 mm). These sizes are used to classify sediment based on their particle diameter.
Sediment size is primarily controlled by the energy of the transporting medium, such as water or wind. Higher energy environments can transport larger sediment sizes, while lower energy environments are limited to smaller sizes. Other factors, such as the type of sediment-producing rock and distance of transport, also play a role in determining sediment size.
Weathering and erosion transform rock into sediments of certain sizes.
No, sediment particles can vary in size from fine clay and silt to coarser sand and gravel. Sediment can contain a mixture of different particle sizes depending on the source and transport processes.
Those are called sediment or sediment particles. Sediment can consist of various sizes of weathered rocks, minerals, and organic matter that settle at the bottom of bodies of water over time.
Will jumble.
Sediment of smaller mass is easier for the power of wind to overcome the power of gravity in moving it from one place to another. Most sediment moved by wind that is tiny as sand.
Clay, Silt, Sand, Granule, Pebble, Cobble and Boulder.
There's a vicuna in that jumble.
Jumble is a noun (a jumble) and a verb (to jumble).
Sediment sorting-Range of particle sizes layering- stratification of sediments and rocks texture- grain size grain Roundness- loss of edges on sediment grains (just took the Quiz of apex!)
i had a whole jumble of things
