Process: - Sediment transport is the movement of solid particles (sediment) - The movement is due to a combination of gravity acting on the sediment, and/or the movement of the fluid in which the sediment is entrained - 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 - Sediment transport due to fluid motion occurs in rivers, oceans, lakes, seas, and other bodies of water due to currents and tides - Transport is also caused by glaciers as they flow - Question: suppose there is less particles happens, how will it affect less movement along the sloping surface. - A: more - B: less - C: no effect
Ans: A

Process: - Magma rises from deep in the earth - The magma goes into volcanos - The volcanos pressure the magma upwards - The pressure causes the magma to push through the surface of the volcano - The lava cools - The lava forms new rock - New magma is pressured to the surface of the volcano - The volcano bursts through the rock the formed after the last eruption. Question: suppose more calm weather happens, how will it affect pressure inside of a volcano drops steadily. - A: more - B: less - C: no effect
Ans: C

Process: - Bees go out during the day and gather food - Then while gathering of their food, they make wax, which is the building block of their bee hive - Bees make food called honey - They use a sticky, glue-like substance called propolis as a binding to hold their hives together - Bees produce all of the building blocks to build their hive in their own body - Question: suppose the bees will gather food happens, how will it affect a LARGER hive. - A: more - B: less - C: no effect
Ans: A

Process: - Minerals fill spaces between bits of sediment - The sediments become glued together - The glued together parts become hard like cement - The sediment becomes a big rock - The rocks erode slowly - The rocks come apart - The rocks become smaller rocks - The rocks continue to erode into smaller rocks - The process starts again. Question: suppose a person is undertaking heavy exercise happens, how will it affect MORE sedimentary rock forming. - A: more - B: less - C: no effect
Ans: C
