bro what are you saying
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?

Sentence of sediment?
Sediment is the collection of particles like sand, silt, and clay that settle at the bottom of bodies of water or accumulate on land.
What happens the particles in a suspension if they are allowed to stand?
They will separate from the solution. Think of sand and water in a glass jar. If you shake the jar, the sand and water will stay mixed for a while- --the sand is " suspended" in the liquid. However, if you let it stand a while, the sand will drop to the bottom of the jar.
In sedimentation what order do the layers settle in?
Oldest at the bottom, newest at the top. OR Largest particles first, finest particles last.
