isted in question 1, comment on how the sediment is being wind, ice, or gravity). What type of depositional environments deposit
ed (e.g.. water. are represented in your two examples (e.g. lakes, rivers, glaciers, alluvial tans) when this sediment eventually is lithified and becomes sedimentary rock, wha t type of sedimentary rocks will they become?
The breaking down of rocks gives rise to the formation of sediments. These materials are transported from one place to another by agents such as wind, water, and ice. The wind carries smaller or finer particles. The water can carry finer to coarser type of materials and ice also carries sediments that are generally coarser in size.
These sediments are generally deposited in the environment such as the deltaic environment, marine and lake environment.
These sediments after getting deposited at a particular place, they are compacted and lithified, and thereby forms a sedimentary rock, which is commonly known as the clastic-sedimentary rocks. These are formed by mechanical processes.
The prepositional or the sedimentary environment descries the combination of the physical and the chemical and the biological processes and is linked with the deposition of the particular type of the sediment such as the wind, ice or gravity, and these are formed after the lithification process.
And the sediment gets trapped in the rocks and becomes recorded. In the lakes type of environments, the bodies are usually still and the basin is surrounded by lands. In the glaciers, the deposition of the till that is angular to rounded and poorly stratified plain and the outwash plains are formed by the ripple marks and the cross-beds.
Others like the tidal process due to the currents create a tidal flats and commonly deposited sediments are the silt and the clay.
You could try writing flash cards with the word on one side and definition on the other or you could write the word and definition 3 times each on a piece of paper. remember not to try and cram the night before the quiz because you will lose sleep and you may not remember what you studied. (;
There would be multiple reasons that they would plant vegetation along the road, but one of the biggest ones would be to reduce erosion, the roots from the plants would help hold the soil in place during rain. This would overall make the road a much safer place for both the people driving these roads and the animals that inhabit the areas.
