What is the process of pressing sediments? COMPACTION. The process by which sediments are pressed together under their own weight. CEMENTATION. The process by which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together into one mass. What evidence do you see that sediments are being transported? Sedimentsare small rock fragments such as sand or […]
What colors absorb light the most?
What colors absorb light the most? Obviously the black strip absorbed the most. But the red, blue, and green ones did not absorb much. Interestingly, the dark gray and purple ones absorbed absorbed more than I would imagine. What color does blue pigment subtract from white light? When blue is subtracted from white light, the […]

What controls how much sediment a river can carry?
What controls how much sediment a river can carry? The two main flow factors in sediment transport are the settling rate and the boundary layer shear stress 27. What property of flowing water determines how much sediment it can carry? Sediments carried as solids as the stream flows are called a suspended load. The size […]
What is wave size and energy influenced by?
What is wave size and energy influenced by? Waves are generated by wind blowing over the sea. The characteristics of waves are determined by the strength of the wind, its duration and fetch (distance a wave travels). The stronger the wind the greater the friction on the surface of the sea and therefore the bigger […]

What are the types of DFD?
What are the types of DFD? DFD is of two types: Logical DFD: Logical data flow diagram mainly focuses on the system process. It illustrates how data flows in the system.
