How are sediments formed
Answered By: Alejandro Roberts Date: created: Jan 21 2021
Sediment transport and deposition
Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area.

What are some examples of sediment
Answered By: Isaiah Rodriguez Date: created: Mar 26 2021
Clastic sedimentary rocks such as breccia, conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, and shale are formed from mechanical weathering debris. Chemical sedimentary rocks, such as rock salt, iron ore, chert, flint, some dolomites, and some limestones, form when dissolved materials precipitate from solution.

What are sediments in science
Answered By: Gerld Powell Date: created: Mar 18 2022
Sediment is any particulate matter that can be transported by fluid flow and which eventually is deposited as a layer of solid particles on the bed or bottom of a body of water or other liquid. Sedimentation is the deposition by settling of a suspended material.

Where is sedimentary rock found
Answered By: Donald Hall Date: created: Feb 07 2021
Sedimentary rocks are made when sand, mud and pebbles get laid down in layers. Over time, these layers are squashed under more and more layers. Eventually, the layers are lithified – turned to rock. Sedimentary rocks can be formed in deserts , lakes, rivers and seas .

How are sediments classified
Answered By: Xavier Griffin Date: created: Feb 13 2021
Sediments are also classified by origin. There are four types: lithogenous, hydrogenous, biogenous and cosmogenous. Lithogenous sediments come from land via rivers, ice, wind and other processes. Biogenous sediments come from organisms like plankton when their exoskeletons break down.

Where do sediments come from
Answered By: Keith Parker Date: created: Dec 16 2020
Seas, oceans, and lakes accumulate sediment over time. The sediment can consist of terrigenous material, which originates on land, but may be deposited in either terrestrial, marine, or lacustrine (lake) environments, or of sediments (often biological) originating in the body of water.

What do u mean by sedimentation
Answered By: Wallace Jones Date: created: Apr 28 2021
The process of particles settling to the bottom of a body of water is called sedimentation. Layers of sediment in rocks from past sedimentation show the action of currents, reveal fossils, and give evidence of human activity. Sedimentation can be traced back to the Latin sedimentum, “a settling or a sinking down.”

What are the three types of sediment
Answered By: Gilbert Thomas Date: created: Mar 08 2022
There are three types of sediment, and therefore, sedimentary rocks: clastic, biogenic, and chemical, and we differentiate the three based on the fragments that come together to form them. Let’s take a look at the first type mentioned, which was clastic. Clastic sediments are composed of fragments of rock.

What defines a rock
Answered By: Lawrence Morris Date: created: Jan 23 2021
A relatively hard, naturally occurring mineral material. Rock can consist of a single mineral or of several minerals that are either tightly compacted or held together by a cementlike mineral matrix. The three main types of rock are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. A piece of such material; a stone.

What is the movement of sediment called
Answered By: Isaiah Edwards Date: created: Jan 15 2021
The initial removal of loose weathered material (REGOLITH or SOIL) from its site of origin is called EROSION. Once eroded, the weathered material is called SEDIMENT. All subsequent movement is called TRANSPORT or SEDIMENT TRANSPORT.

How can you identify a sedimentary rock
Answered By: Julian Clark Date: created: May 27 2021
Sedimentary rocks such as limestone or shale are hardened sediment with sandy or clay-like layers (strata). They are usually brown to gray in color and may have fossils and water or wind marks. Metamorphic rocks such as marble are tough, with straight or curved layers (foliation) of light and dark minerals.8 Jul 2019

There are three major types of sedimentary rocks; chemical, clastic and organic sedimentary rocks.
- Chemical. Chemical sedimentary rocks occur when components of water evaporate and previously dissolved minerals are left behind.

Why is sediment bad for Rivers
Answered By: Sebastian Garcia Date: created: Nov 08 2021
Sediment in stream beds disrupts the natural food chain by destroying the habitat where the smallest stream organisms live and causing massive declines in fish populations. Sediment deposits in rivers can alter the flow of water and reduce water depth, which makes navigation and recreational use more difficult.
