In August of 1814, Jackson met with their chiefs. There he forced the Treaty of Fort Jackson that forced the Creeks to give up nearly 23 million acres and remove their settlements to a smaller area of land that American forces could more easily patrol.
Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause mineral and/or organic particles (detritus) to settle and accumulate or minerals to precipitate from a solution. Particles that form a sedimentary rock by accumulating are called sediment.Before being deposited, sediment was formed by weathering and erosion in a source area, and then transported to the place of deposition by water, wind, ice, mass movement or glaciers which are called agents of denudation.lastic sedimentary rocks are composed of silicate minerals and rock fragments that were transported by moving fluids (as bed load, suspended load, or by sediment gravity flows) and were deposited when these fluids came to rest.
Fossil of shell. Fossils are very common in sedimentary rocks, such as limestone, but rare in metamorphic rocks, such as marble. Fossils are never found in igneous rocks, such as granite. Sediment layers settle over the dead animals and plants that then turn into fossils.ther sediments form from the skeletons of animals, and from plants and other living things. Eventually, these sediments get buried and are squashed together to form sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks make up around 75 per cent of the rocks on the Earthâs surface. 1  Rock cycle.
