When referring to sediment, ground, rocks and sand, this part of the Earth is known as the

Most of the rocks exposed at the surface of the earth are , formed from particles of older rocks that have been broken apart by water or wind. The gravel, sand, and mud settle to the bottom in rivers, lakes, and oceans. The impact of environmental change and anthropogenic stressors on coastal marine systems will strongly depend on changes in the magnitude and composition of organic matter exported from the water column to the seabed.

Sediment becomes sedimentary ROCK when it is deposited, compacted, and cemented together by chemicals that are transported by groundwater Easy question: Sand-size sediment, of any chemical composition, that goes through this process becomes ______________. When you see this sedimentary rock, you know you are in a location that was once a desert or a beach. In some places, you can even see textures characteristic of sand dunes.Group of answer choiceschalkconglomeratesandstonecoaloolitic limestone
