Sedimentation is the measure of the (simple)movement of solids ,or the time (rate) of movement of undisolved material (solids) , in a column of water or other fluid ( as in sedimentation rate).
Flotation is a quality of matter that is less dense than the fluid on which it is suspended . Both solids and liquids float, with liquids forming patches or layers atop the more dense sustrate.

What is the difference between sedimentation and centrifugation?
sedimentation is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle down when there is a stirring in it.this is due to there motion through the fluid in response to the force acting on them centrifugation is the process of increasing the level of sedimentation by using a centrifuge.
What is sedimentation potential?
The potential difference Esed or E at zero current caused by the sedimentation of particles in the field of gravity or in a centrifuge, between two identical electrodes at different levels (or at different distances from the centre of rotation). E is positive if the lower (peripheral) electrode is negative. This is also called the Dorn effect. http://www.iupac.org/goldbook/S05538.pdf
Is sedimentation a physical change or a chemical change?
Sedimentation is a physical process.

How did they measure temperature in the past?
They estimate it based on the thickness of sedimentation, the types of gases found in glaciers, the thickness of annual snowfall in glacier samples, and what kind of plant or animal life is found in different layers of sedimentation.
