<h2>Answer:</h2>

Sediments eroded from mountainsides and shifted through streams are example of conservation of <u>matter</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Sediments are the soil resources that are out of their place. Due to the process of transport, detachment, deposition of soil particles by the forces of wind, rain, wind-shear, floods over the soil surface, sedimentation takes place.

This alters density, volume, and area but helps to conserve matter. These sediments travel until the water and wind energy are insufficient to continue the movement. So, the matter will be utilized along with the minerals it carries which makes the soil fertile.

Answer and Explanation:

Sediment transport occurs in natural systems where the particles are clastic rocks (sand, gravel, boulders, etc.), mud, or clay; the fluid is air, water, or ice; and the force of gravity acts to move the particles along the sloping surface on which they are resting.

The movement of a tectonic plate away from a mid-ocean ridge can be measured by the orientation of the _______ field.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

geomagnetic field.

Explanation:

The earth magnetic field can be likened to a bar magnet with a North and South pole. It originates from the movement of molten iron and nickel in the outer core.

At every point in time, the magnetic field orientation can change. We must note that the magnetic north lies close to that of geographic north axis of the earth.

Around the mid-oceanic ridges, new materials are brought to the surface. These new materials can contain magnetic minerals such as haematite which are capable of being magnetized as a result of the prevalent magnetic field of the earth. As different materials are brought up, the magnetic minerals preserves the details of the magnetic field at that point in time. Using this information can know the orientation of the magnetic field at any point in time if the magnetic history chart of the earth is constructed. Oceanic ridges becomes older as they move away from the divergent margins.
