One of the main source of sediment in flowing water is soil erosion.

Explanation:

Soil erosion is the washing away of top most layer of soil due to various reasons.

Agents of soil erosion are: wind, water, animals, ice or gravity.

Water is one of the biggest agent or cause of soil erosion. Water carry lots of energy in its motion. When water moves from any area it carries away topmost layer of soil with it. The soil that is being carried away by water is sediment.

When this water reach river, lake or any other water source, sediments carried by them enters that source of water. Sediment results in water pollution.

<span>Mitosis 

Mitosis and meiosis are simply cell division processes that occurs differently, they're characteristically divergent from each other according to their function and structure. Mitosis is the cell division that happens in all cells in the human body except sperm and egg cells. They produce diploid cells. Meiosis on the other hand is responsible for the cell division of the gametes, spermatogenesis (sperm cells) and oogenesis (egg cells), such haploid cells. </span>

What is the relationship between undisturbed sedimentary rock layers and fossils?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Older fossils are found in deeper layers of sedimentary rock.

Explanation:

The relationship between undisturbed sedimentary rock layers and fossils is that older fossils are found in deeper layers of sedimentary rocks.

This is one of the premise of the law of superposition and principle of fossil and fauna succession.

  • An undisturbed sequence is one in which the sedimentary layers have been arranged sequentially.
  • The oldest is at the bottom and the youngest on top.
  • Also, fossils grade in this manner too.
  • The oldest fossils will be in the oldest bed which is the deepest layer.
  • The youngest bed will contain the youngest fossils in like manner too.
