A group of students created a model to demonstrate some of the processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rock. The students used this procedure to create the model:
Put some sand into a rectangular tray and create a hill at one end with the sand.
Raise the end of the tray with the hill of sand by placing a block of wood under it.
Create a channel in the sand from the top of the sand hill to the bottom of the sand hill.
Pour water into the tray so that it flows through the channel.
Observe how the flowing water affects the sand.
The model is shown in the diagram.
Which TWO processes of sedimentary rock formation are being modeled AND how are they being modeled?
The two processes of sedimentary rock formation being modeled are __________. __________ causes the sand to move from one end of the tray to the other and __________ causes the sand to be dropped or piled up creating layers.

Students study a landform that is found at the mouth of a river.
Which statement BEST explains the processes that cause this landform?
As ocean waves break on the shore, they deposit sediment from the ocean to the mouth of the river.
As the river water flows into the ocean, it slows down, causing sediments to be deposited at the mouth of the river.
As the river water flows into the ocean, it speeds up, causing sediments to be deposited at the mouth of the river.
As ocean waves break on the shore, they deposit sediment from the shoreline to the mouth of the river.
