Depends on the context. If this is a chemistry experiment it would be called a precipitate. If this is water in say a water course it would be called sediment.

What are the small bits of weathered rock that settle to the bottom of bodies of water?
These particles are called sediment.
What are particles of materials that are settle out of water?
Sediment
What is the word that means sand or particles settle out of wind or water and form layers?
The word you are looking for is "sedimentation." Sedimentation is the process by which sand or particles settle out of wind or water and form layers or deposits over time.
What causes particles to settle the most?
Greater density causes particles to settle faster.
How are particles of sand and pebbles that are less dense than water carried by a stream?
Particles of sand and pebbles that are less dense than water are carried by a stream through a process called suspension. The flow of the water exerts enough force to keep these lighter particles suspended in the water and move them downstream. The particles are lifted off the streambed and transported until the flow of the water slows down or they encounter an obstacle that causes them to settle.
What is a mixture in which some of the particles will settle out?
Mixtures in which some of the particles settle out are called suspensions. An example of a mixture is dirt mixed with a large amount of water. On the other hand, mixtures in which the particles do not settle out are called colloids.
What are the small bits of weathered rock that settle to the bottom of bodies of water?
These particles are called sediment.
What are particles of materials that are settle out of water?
Sediment
A mixture where the particles are dispersed but settle out?
They are called colloids.
What is a mixture from which particles settle out upon standing called?
A suspension has large particles that settle out on standing.
A heterogeneous mixture in which visible particles settle is called?
suspension
Which particles are the first settle as moving water slows?
Rock and soil!!
What is the mixture in which dispersed particles are too light to settle out?
They are called colloids.
Mixture whose particles are not heavy enough to settle out?
They are called colloids.
Why do particles settle on the bottom when river enters the ocean?
The particles are heavier than water and sink instead of floating.
Placer deposits form when?
Heavy eroded particles settle out of moving water
What particles are the first to settle as moving water slows?
the ones with the highest density
