It is called sedimentation.
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
Which is the water bearing layer of earth?
The water-bearing layer of Earth is called the aquifer. Aquifers are underground layers of rock or sediment that can store and transmit water. They are important for supplying water to wells and springs.
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.
Wind transported sediment are called?
Wind transported sediment is known as "aeolian sediment."
Particles that settle from water are called what?
Particles that settle from water are called sediment.
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.
What is the name for the bottom oldest layer of rock?
The bottom layer of rock in a geologic sequence is usually called the basement layer.
What is layer of deposited layer of rock and soil?
i think its sediment
What is a layer of a organic sediment?
peat
What layer of organic sediment?
Peat
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.
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.
What is the layer of soil called that says frozen?
The layer of soil that is frozen is called permafrost. Permafrost is soil, sediment, or rock that remains at or below 0°C for at least two years, often containing ice.
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 sediment a river carries called?
It's called transportation.
What is a layer of rock and mineral fragments produced by weathering?
A layer of rock and mineral fragments produced by weathering is called sediment. Sediment is formed when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by physical, chemical, or biological weathering processes, and then these fragments are transported and deposited by water, wind, or ice. Over time, these sediment layers can become compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
