Deposition – the dropping of sediment
3
When sediments undergo pressure – they can turn into sedimentary rock.
4
Little pieces of sediment can just stick together without a cement. Siltstone feels dirty – like a dusty rock.
5
Big sediments need cement.
6
Sorted – separated by size.
7
Horizontal Sorting – when a river enters a lake
8
Vertical Sorting – when sediment is dumped straight down.
9
Landslides can dump sediment straight down into water.
11
Graded Bedding- more than one vertical sorting.
12
Deposition by gravity – unsorted, mix of angular fragments
13
Deltas- triangular shaped land made from river sediment depositing where the river slows down.
14
Alluvial Fan – deposit from mountain sediment onto land.
