That is not an effective method. Easier and more efficient to fit a sediment filter, or if the sand is really excessive, what is called a "swirlaway filter"

One common technique used to separate pebbles and sand is sieving. By passing a mixture of pebbles and sand through a sieve with appropriate mesh size, the smaller particles such as sand will pass through while the larger pebbles will be retained on top of the sieve.
Sand is more permeable than clay and pebbles because it has larger pore spaces between particles, allowing water to flow more easily through it. Clay has smaller pore spaces, making it less permeable. Pebbles have even larger spaces between them than sand, but water can still flow more easily through sand due to its finer texture.
Grains of sand will move faster compared to pebbles. Sand is lighter and will easily get carried by wind, unlike pebbles, which are heavier in comparison.
Silt is the smallest particle size of boulders, pebbles, sand, and silt. It is finer than sand, pebbles, and boulders, which allows it to settle at the bottom first when suspended in water and has a low settling velocity.
In water, sand will settle first due to its large particle size and weight, followed by gravel, pebbles, and soil in that order. The smaller and lighter particles take longer to settle as they are more easily suspended in the water.
To separate sand from salt and pebbles, use a sieve to filter out the larger pebbles first, then add water to dissolve the salt and separate it from the sand through filtration. To separate salt from sand and pebbles, dissolve the salt in water and then evaporate the water to obtain the salt crystals, leaving the sand and pebbles behind. To separate pebbles from sand and salt, use a sieve or filtration to separate the larger pebbles from the sand and salt mixture.

You can use the method of sieving to separate pebbles and sand. Sieving involves passing a mixture of pebbles and sand through a mesh or sieve that allows the smaller particles (sand) to pass through while retaining the larger particles (pebbles).

Sand is more permeable than clay and pebbles because it has larger pore spaces between particles, allowing water to flow more easily through it. Clay has smaller pore spaces, making it less permeable. Pebbles have even larger spaces between them than sand, but water can still flow more easily through sand due to its finer texture.
Sure, that's easy. First, pull out the iron filings with a magnet. Separate the pebbles by pouring the mixture through a grate, with holes large enough to allow the sand and salt to fall through, but not large enough to allow the pebbles to fall through. Finally, to separate the sand and the salt, just add water. The salt will dissolve, the sand won't. If you want to recover the salt in solid form, you can then boil away the water in the salt solution, and get your salt back. Done.
To separate a mixture of sand, salt, and pebbles, you can use a combination of physical methods. First, use a sieve or filter to separate the pebbles from the sand and salt, as the pebbles will be larger. Next, dissolve the salt in water, which will separate it from the sand. Finally, filter the mixture to collect the sand, and then evaporate the water to retrieve the salt.
A mixture of pebbles and water would be heterogeneous.
The Sand Pebbles was created in 1962.
Yes, pebbles and sand are denser than water, so they will sink to the bottom. Over time, they can form a mixed layer as the smaller particles settle in between the larger pebbles.
Pebbles sink faster than sand grains due to their larger size, weight, and density. The larger surface area of pebbles compared to sand grains experiences less resistance as they sink through the water, allowing them to fall more quickly. Sand grains, being smaller and lighter, have a larger surface area that creates more friction with the water, slowing down their sinking rate.
Water does not filter particles: it is the other way around. Pebbles, gravel, and sand are used to filter water, with the smallest particle size (sand) filtering the most particulates from the water, whether it is salt water or fresh water.
