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.

Does salt water or fresh water filter sand gravel soil and pebbles better and why?

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.

What is the best order to put sand pebbles gravel and cotton balls to filter dirty water to make it clean water?

If you think about it, you need to remove the big stuff before you can remove the smaller stuff. By putting pebbles on top, it will filter out things like other rocks, twigs and the like. Gravel will filter out anything smaller that gets past the pebbles, and sand will do the same. It's all a matter of scale. The cotton balls will filter out the smallest possible detritus.

How could you seperate a mixture of sand and small pebbles?

In geology and civil engineering sand and gravel have specific meanings! Sand is material that varies in diameter from 1⁄16 mm upto 2 mm. Any material larger than this is either gravel (>2 to 4 mm), a pebble (>4 to 64 mm), a cobble (>64 to 256), or a boulder (>256 mm). As the difference between gravel and sand is the size of the grains then a sieve with a mesh equal to the maximum diameter of sand could be used to sieve the material. All the material passing through the sieve would be sand (or smaller material) and anything trapped on the sieve would be gravel or larger material.


Grains of rock larger than sand are called what?

Gravel, cobbles and boulders are all individual clasts of increasing size that are larger than sand.


Is garden soil sand or pebbles more absorbent?

Garden soil sand is more absorbent and retains the level of moisture for a longer period of time than pebbles. Pebbles or gravel should be put at the bottom of potted plants about 1/2 - 3 inches depending on the size of the pot for drainage.


A container contains a mixture of sand salt and pebbles.how can each substance be separated from the other?

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.


How do you separate sand gravel and water?

To separate sand, gravel, and water, you can use a filtration method. Pour the mixture through a filter such as a sieve or cloth to separate the sand and gravel from the water. The water will pass through while the sand and gravel remain on the filter.
