Why do sediments settle to the bottom of a lake or sea?
Sediment settles on the bottom of the lake or sea ultimately because it is heavier than water. Sediment begins as dirt or fragments of rock on land. When precipitation (rain) or flooding occurs these fragments are carried along with the water to the nearest stream, river, or other water reserve. The sediment that is carried into a lake or pond then sinks to the bottom of the body of water. The sediment that finds its way into moving water is ultimately emptied into the ocean, or whichever body of standing water the river or stream flows. Once the sediment reaches the stagnant body of water it will sink to the bottom.
The act or process by which wind or water sets down sediment?
