sediment that is carried by the rivers is actually generated.
Sediment deposited during those watery times contains fossils of marine organisms that died here.
Sediment and rocks that have both high porosity and permeability are called aquifers: pockets of water underground.
Through sedimentology, geologists study how rocks transform into sediment and sediment transforms into rocks.
The sediment and rock beneath us have pores: little openings that can take in water like a sponge.
The sedimentary rocks at Los Cuernos are clastic— they formed from bits of other rocks that broke off, drifted away, and got compacted deep underground over time.
The sedimented history of-- conceptual history of civil war going back to the Roman Republic, layered over since then
So if sedimentary rock layers don’t rest roughly horizontally, we can assume something— like shifting tectonic plates— knocked them into a wonky shape after the sediment solidified into stone.
Then more sediment washes in, stacking other horizontal layers on top.
All that sediment from the ocean floor built up between the continents and formed an accretionary wedge, full of rocks and, yup, fossils from deep down under the sea.
But all that sediment cut from the terrain has to go somewhere.
The river whisks that sediment downstream, the current slowing down as it enters a larger body of water or flows into a flat plain.
This is sedimentary rock—which is created when bits of rocks and minerals, called sediment , pile up and solidify into a solid mass.
Weathering creates sediment , the stuff that eventually forms sedimentary rock.
So-- and there's sediment .
whatever I mean there sediment that you will get when when you strain the stock and that's great for the kind of soup
and not redeposit sediment on the electronics.
And so like sediment in the harbor, it's gotten to the point where people in government can't actually do even what they think they should do.
Now they're in sediments down they're, in the stream here.
when the layers of sedimentary rock begin.
It’s a sedimentary rock that forms biochemically, meaning from the shells or bones of once-living organisms.
It’s a sedimentary rock that forms chemically, from dissolved minerals that separate from water.
Igneous rock can become sedimentary, then metamorphic, then back to igneous or sedimentary again.
like layers of sedimentary rock, you've got to kind of get through loads before it gets to the top.
place was like at the time the sediment was deposited.
So they're sticking right in the sediment itself, in the shaley or the mud stone sediment , or in the river sandstone sediment .
Then they sink to deep sea sediment .
It's been found in deep sea sediment .
It was some sort of submerged sediment trap, in a pool of water supersaturated with calcium carbonate.
At the canyon’s top layer are sedimentary strata that show periods when the landscape was at the bottom of a shallow sea.
Combined with the thick layer of sediments , the ocean is shallower on the shelf, usually less than two hundred meters deep.
in ways that might help undo these sedimented sort of binary schematics.
The MSL Curiosity Rover is studying these sediments , which were deposited in that lake environment, searching for possible chemical signatures of habitability,
it was lying there in the sediments in the cave.
And the nature of the sediments that's going into it.
When conditions are right, sediment can get buried so deep that it turns into solid sedimentary rock.
and if there was a dry spell after sediment was deposited.
Then there’s the principle of original horizontality: sediment beds are deposited in flat-ish lines, pulled by gravity.
It's stretched out and topped with a thick layer of sediment accumulated over thousands of years.
We could only find them by searching riverbeds for washed-away sediment — also known as alluvial mining.
Over time, this sediment was buried and squeezed like a geological panini until it formed a solid mass.
According to fossil records, sediment samples, and ice cores, previous magnetic field reversals haven’t caused any major changes to Earth’s climate or had a visible impact on life.
So if you dig down there's a layer of red sediment , which is from her burning.
And so if the fossilized shells are found in sediment , that shows that it was in the deep sea.
We know that there is hydrothermal activity at the ocean sediment interface based on the presence of those silica nanoparticles.
Or let them kind of purge out any extra sediment that's in there.
And then you have an idea of what kind of sediment , and the size of the sentiment, is going into the lake.
So that's why these beers all have a yeast sediment in the bottom of them.
these steep ginger root streams to get to these sedimentation ponds and stuff
And what that means is that as the sedimentation comes from the Andes and gets deposited, the river actually changes its banks.
