Are all the particles of sediment the same size?
no
How is it possible for a single sedimentary rock to contain rock particles animal shells and minerals that crystalized from water?
The rock particles and animal shells are sediments that were transported, then deposited in the same location; as they subsequently were compacted by the weight of additional subsequent sediment deposits from above, the water between the sediment particles was driven out. As compaction drives the water out, minerals are precipitated from the remaining mineral laden solution which bind the animal shells and rock particles together, forming rock.

Is deposition the same as erosion?
No, deposition is the laying down or addition of sediments whereas erosion is the process of removal and transportation of sediment.
What is the difference between old alluvium and new alluvium?
Alluvium refers to clay, silt, sand, gravel, or similar detrital material deposited by running water. New alluvium are these sediments that are being deposited right now and older alluvium refers to sediments that were deposited a short while before the new alluvium. For example, a 500 years ago some sediments were deposited in a stream bed and last year more sediments were deposited in that same stream bed. The 500 year old sediment would be older alluvium and the 1 year old sediment would be the younger alluvium.
When the concentration of dissolved particles is the same throughout a solution the system is said be in?

Is clay the same as mudstone?
No. Clay is the finest size of particle that can be found in sediment. Mustone is a solid rock formed from particles of clay and silt that have been cemented together.
What does not act as agent for eroding rock and transporting sediment?
Agents for erosion and transporting sediments include gravity, wind, water (including currents), or ice. Other forces in nature do not act in the same way, for example, lava.
Stronger wind can carry larger particles of sediment?
Yes definitely! If you think of the very strong winds in a hurricane or a tornado, they can pick up massive pieces of debris, even cars! So yes the stronger a wind is, the larger sized sediments it can pick up.
