"Go outside and find evidence of sediment transportation"
Everyday energy is converted from the sun into different types of things. In this case that energy is being converted into wind and lots of kinetic energy. I decided to go about this assignment a little differently. (I assume that most people will find some kind of dune) Here is my small video about what I found.
Mode of transportation: Wind. Other types could be water.
What kind of sediment: Sand with a few leaves that will turn into dirt later. Other types could be silts, clay and more. ( You can't really see the sand but it was there).
Sorting: I was a little late in the video but there was a ton of dust, plastic, leaves and more being blown around. In the video you can mainly see sand (from a nearby quarry) and leaves. It appeared that nothing was really settling anywhere due to strong winds.
Energy level: High. This will change to low most of the time.
Sedimentary structures: There were no structures being formed in this location, however sometimes you can visibly see some structures being formed.
