One caveat: If your toddler is overweight, at risk for becoming overweight, if you have a family history of obesity, high blood pressure or heart disease, your pediatrician may recommend that your toddler drink 2% milk from age 1 to 2 instead of whole milk. But don't give her 1% or skim milk before age 2.
The final sediment thus reflects the energy of the transporting medium. Lithification (Diagenesis) - Lithification is the process that turns sediment into rock. The first stage of the process is compaction. Compaction occurs as the weight of the overlying material increases. Compaction forces the grains closer together, reducing pore space and eliminating some of the contained water. Some of this water may carry mineral components in solution, and these constituents may later precipitate as new minerals in the pore spaces.
Generally speaking, the farther from land sediments fall, the less calcareous they are. Some areas can have interbedded calcareous sediments due to storms, or changes in ocean currents. Calcareous ooze is a form of calcium carbonate derived from planktonic organisms that accumulates on the sea floor.This can only occur if the ocean is shallower than the carbonate compensation depth (CCD).alcareous grassland is a form of grassland characteristic of soils containing a lot of calcium carbonate from underlying chalk or limestone rock. Species of algae such as the green-segmented genus Halimeda are calcareous.
