What is the main difference in the type of sediments which occur east and west of the missouri river?

Sediments in the east of Missouri are younger as they are from the Pleistocene age whereas the sediments in the west are a bit older since they consist of Precambrian rocks.

The river Missouri is the longest river in North America. It is also one of the oldest rivers of the continent. Missouri is known for its richness in sediments. It originates from the rocky mountains of western Montana and joins the Mississippi River.

Missouri brings a lot of sediments along with its flow and these sediments are different in the east and west parts.

heat from the core of the earth causes convection currents to occur in the mantle. these currents slowly move the crust around.
