Why are the rocks big at the bottom of the soil profile?
Rocks are formed initially as one large slab, then are broken down by various processes. Most of the processes that will break rocks down into smaller rocks require the rock be exposed to the weather (wind, rain, freeze/thaw cycle, mechanical separation by roots growing into the cracks), so the further the rocks are from the surface, the larger they are likely to be.
Which method uses the density differences of rocks to interpret subsurface structures?
gravity method

What is sedimetation separation?
in this process the substance to be filtered (eg water) is taken in a large tank and allowed to stand for some time. after some time the heavy impurities (like rocks, stones etc) settle down at the bottom and are removed. This is called sedimentation separation. it is used in water treatment plants.
