Which size sediment would be easier to compact?

Fine grained sediment would compact more easily because of the smaller spaces between particles.


What are particles of weathered rock called?

The smaller chunks are pebbles and dust. When they are carried by water, they are called sediment.


When looking at a profile of a river where do most of the smaller particles of sediment get deposited?

farther out into the body of water where the river empties


Does filtration separate materials based on the size of their particles?

Filtration will remove ALL solid particles regardless of their size. To separate materials based on the size of their particles one would use a process of sieving, using a sieve stack with a smaller and smaller mesh size.

Do smaller particles of sediment get deposited first or do large particles of sediment?

It would take more time for smaller particles to settle because they are lighter than larger particles, making it harder for them to settle. Its is easier for larger particles to settle because if they bump up against each other they wont move much and their heavier weight will cause them to stay once settled.

No, the heavier are deposited first and then the medium ones and lastly the very smallest (sand). This can be seen clearly when you look at what are called out washed plains.
