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.
A few examples include: Plate Tectonics â Density is a factor for â¦ Mantle Convection Behavior of Pollutants Density of Pollutants Affects Flow Sediments Flowing into the Ocean Factors Affecting Density Temperature As the temperature of most substances increases Atoms move faster and spread apart. Expansion increases the volume which decreases the density because the mass remains the same. Pressure Solids At great depths below Earthâs surface there is extremely high pressure from the overlying rocks. Minerals are compressed Volume decreases. Density increases Fluids (Particularly gases such as the atmosphere) As pressure decreases, gases expand. This results in an increase in volume. Density decreases Shape and Size If the temperature of a material remains constant, the size and shape will not affect itâs density. The mass and volume change proportionately. Phases of Matter For most substances particles are most closely packed in the solid phase.
