How do lithogenous sediments differ from biogenous sediments?
Lithogenous sediments come from the land They result primarily from erosion by water, wind, and ice Biogenous sediments originate from organisms The particles in these sediments come from shells and hard skeletons. Although lithogenous sediments represent the largest total volume, biogenous sediments cover a greater area of sea floor
How do the ages of the sea sediments compare to the age of the oldest contential rock?
Continental rock is MUCH older than sediments in the sea (unless the sediments in the sea come from continental crust, in which case they would be the same age).
Where did sediment come from?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the erosion of different material from tops of mountains and hills. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the build up and ensuing consolidation of sediments into different types of rocks.
What is oceanic sedimentation?
Oceanic sedimentation is the process by which sediments accumulate on the ocean floor. These sediments can come from various sources such as eroded rocks on land, mineral debris from volcanic activity, or the remains of marine organisms. Over time, these sediments can build up layers, eventually forming sedimentary rocks.
How are sedium rocks formed?
Sedimentary rocks are formed through the accumulation and cementation of sediments or organic materials over time. These sediments can come from the erosion of pre-existing rocks, the remains of plants and animals, or chemical precipitation. Through processes like compaction and cementation, these sediments are eventually lithified into sedimentary rocks.
What is the Atlantic coastal plain come into existence when the dropped?
sea level
What sea did the sea lamprey come from?
The sea lamprey is native to the Atlantic Ocean. It can be found in coastal and freshwater areas along the Atlantic coast.
What is the difference between terrigenous sediments and biogenous sediments?
Terrigenous sediments come from the earth "Terri" means land or earth in greek "genous" means origin. Biogenous sediments come from organic matter.

Which region of Georgia do most of the state's agricultural products come from?
Most of Georgia's agricultural products come from the Coastal Plain region in the southern part of the state. This region has a favorable climate and fertile soil, making it ideal for growing a variety of crops such as peanuts, pecans, and peaches.
Which landforms come first from west coast to east coast?
From the west coast to the east coast of the United States, the landforms you would generally encounter are the Pacific Coast Ranges, the Great Basin, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Plains, and the Appalachian Mountains.
Where sediment come from?
Sediments come from the erosion of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
Where is the strongest black bear in America?
The strongest is hard to say, but in recent years the largest black bears in North America have come from the coastal plain of North Carolina, where males commonly top 600 pounds, and a world record 880 pound bear was killed there. In NC, there are two populations of black bear, one in the mountains, the other on the coastal plain. Although the exact same species, the coastal bears average around 100 pounds heavier than the mountain bears. The reason is thought to be the enormous amount of soybeans eaten by the coastal population.
What are loggerheads turtle's habitat?
Loggerhead turtles spend their lives in the open ocean and shallow coastal waters. They live in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. They only come ashore to lay eggs.
Are sediments?
Sediments in geology are solid fragments of inorganic or organic material that come from the weathering of rock or biological processes and are carried and deposited by wind, water, or ice. Sediments are types of rock that are formed by the deposition of material from the Earth's surface. There are different types of sediments rocks.
How new land forms?
well first is weathering, then the sediments ,then erosion takes the sediments to a new place ,then they are deposited there for a new land form to come
How do the ages of the sea sediments compare to the age of the oldest contential rock?
Continental rock is MUCH older than sediments in the sea (unless the sediments in the sea come from continental crust, in which case they would be the same age).
