What is the difference between terrigenous sediments and biogenous sediments?
Terrigenous sediments come from the earth "Terri" means land or earth in greek "genous" means origin. Biogenous sediments come from organic matter.
What happens where tectonic plates move part?
An earthquake. But while this happens the magma fills the gap.
Why does polaris not move if earth rotates around sun?
it does move
What does sedimentation mean in a kid's words?
I am a kid, and i am 8. i think it means something turning into sediments, or something forming into sediments.
What allows the tectonic plates in the lithosphere to move?
the hot magma moves around and they move.
What happens to the sediments as they move around?
They gradually get smaller
Why are sediments deposited?
Sediments are deposited when the water flow begins to decrease. When this happens, the water can no longer move the sediment around, therefore, sediments will fall to the bottom.
How do sediments move?
How do sediment move
What is a force is responsible for a rivers capability to move sediments?
The force that is responsible for moving sediments in a river is the current.
How does sediment move from place to place?
Sediments move place to place by Erosion.
Which type of mass movement occurs when sediments slowly move downhill because freezing and thawing?
The process in which sediments move slowly downhill, is called creep. It is common where freezing and thawing occur. As ice expands in soil, it pushed sediments up. Then as soil thaws, the sediments move farther downslope. Over time, creep can move large amounts of sediment, possibly causing damage to some structures
What happens in asthenosphere?
It's where the plates of the lithosphere move around on, the plastic like layer of the asthenosphere. the plates move around on these
What is gravity causing rock or sediments to move downhill?
erosion
What happens when particles get heated?
they get excited and move around faster
What happens when sediments is deposited at a rivers mouth?
A delta is formed.
What happens as the molecules in a liquid move around?
the molecules will go slowly around in the glass
What happenes to these sediments as they move around?
Sediments move around due to the combination of the force of gravity acting on the sediment and or the movement of the fluid in which the sediment is entrained. Movement may either be made by air, water or ice. Sediment movement in fluids occurs in water bodies as a result of water currents and tides.
