Ecology And Ecosystems QBA Exam 1 Practice Test

A material deposited by water, wind, or glaciers is called ...

Sediment Energy Producer Biomass

Correct Answer:

Sediment

Explanation:

The concept being tested is identifying the material that settles out and accumulates after being transported by moving water, wind, or ice. When particles are carried and then drop from suspension, they become sediment—the deposited material like sand, silt, and clay that forms soils and sedimentary layers. This is different from energy, which is the capacity to do work; a producer, which is an organism that creates organic SAMPLEmatter, and biomass, which is the total mass of living or organic material in an area. So the deposited material by those transport media is properly called sediment.
