which type of sediment settles fastest? slowest?
Sedimentary rock is formed by the processes of erosion and deposition. Erosion breaks down rocks into sediment, which is then carried away by water, wind, or ice. When the sediment settles and gets compressed, it forms sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rock, specifically mudstone or shale, is formed from the compaction and cementation of sediment that settles at the bottom of ponds and rivers. Over time, this process creates layers of sedimentary rock that retain characteristics of the original soil deposits.
Creep is the slowest type of mass wasting, where soil and rock move downhill imperceptibly slowly due to gravity. This gradual movement can be observed through the tilting of fences, trees, or other structures over time.
A cold front typically moves the fastest among different types of fronts. Cold fronts are boundaries between cold, dense air and warm, less dense air, causing the cold air to advance quickly and forcefully, often leading to rapidly changing weather conditions.
Yes, sand is a type of sediment. Sediment is a term used to describe material that is transported and deposited by wind, water, or ice. Sand is made up of granules of mineral and rock particles that are between 0.0625 mm and 2 mm in size.
the fast movement is waking up early and sleeping whole day
The fastest can go up to 735 mph(depending on type of harrier), and the slowest it can do is a mere hover.

The phenomenon where sediment settles on the bottom of a body of water is known as sedimentation. When larger grains settle on top of finer particles, this can be referred to as selective deposition. This process often occurs in environments like river deltas, where different grain sizes are deposited at varying rates due to changes in water flow and energy.
The type of surface that warms up the slowest is the "ocean" surface.
The speed of seismic waves from fastest to slowest is P waves (primary waves), S waves (secondary waves), and then surface waves. L waves are a type of surface wave, so they are generally slower than both P and S waves.
Simply type :setspeed and a number from 0-6? I must warn you, 0- goes the fastest and 6- goes the slowest:)xoxox
An acoustic modem is probably the slowest.

creep
Large, coarse sediments like boulders and cobbles accumulate the slowest due to their size and weight. These sediments require high energy events, such as strong currents or intense storms, to transport and deposit them. Consequently, they tend to accumulate at a slower rate compared to smaller sediments like sand or mud.
