Suppose sand gravel and clay are being carried by a river As the water enters a lake and slows down In what order will these sediments settle out of the water?

the sediment could change in order bto the types of erosions.
as a river slows larger pieces settle first
gravel settes first, then sand, and then tiny clay sized clay particles

Is sand carried as far as gravel?
sand is carried farther than gravel because it weighs less and doesn't get stuck together.
How are sand and gravel particles moved along the ocean bottom?
Sand is gradually carried down the beach by Longshore Drift.
Where might a sediment composed of large boulders and cobbles be found?
Sediments high on alluvial fans are rich in gravel with cobble- and boulder-sized rock fagments
Explain how turbidity currents are related to submarine canyons?
Created by a series of complex processes, submarine canyons continue to be carved by sporadic turbidity currents waterfalls of sand, gravel, and muddy sediments.
How was the Mississippi River delta formed?
The Mississippi River Delta was form by a process known as the delta cycle which took more than 7,000 years to complete. This process occurs when sediments from the interior of the continent are carried by the river and deposited near its mouth in warmer water. After enough sediment is gathered in one area plants begin to grow and develop into their own community.

Suppose sand gravel and clay are being carried by a river As the water enters a lake and slows down In what order will these sediments settle out of the water explain why they settel in that order?
As the current slows and goes around bends the heavier silt always settles first. This is the factor that causes 'meanders' in slow moving rivers. The lighter, smaller fragments are carried out to the edge of the delta.

Can you plant the bed of an aquarium fully so you don't need anymore to syphon the gravel?
I wouldn't advise it but I suppose it is plausible.
Are sediments singl species?
No. Many sediments interbreed at the bottom of rivers. You might have some sand that becomes sexually attracted to a piece of gravel. All the little pieces of sand fight each other to see who gets to mate. When one the sand particles attracts the rock's attention, she selects him, and they breed. The silica genes in the sand are mixed with the limestone genes in the gravel, and they have cute little baby geodes!
