sediments made of larger particles will have larger spaces between them, and thus allow greater fluid flow.

How do impermeable surfaces affect infiltration?
A rock that has high porosity is not permeable if the pores or fractures are not connected. The larger and better shorted the particles are, the more permeable the rock or sediment tends to be. Because of this characteristic composition, clay is essentially impermeable, which means that water cannot flow through it.
How do water locks work?
Water locks allow ships to move from one level of water to another through canals.
What is the term for thicker materials that does not allow water to move through it?
That would be an impermiable materials.
Can water and oxygen pass through the cell walls?
Although the cell wall is tough, many materials, including water and oxygen, can pass through easily.
When does wind-carried sediment fall to the ground?
Wind-carried sediment falls to the ground when wind slows down or some obstacle, such as a boulder or clump of grass, traps the windblown sand and other sediment. When it comes into contact with any obstacle.
What is the best sediment transporting agent?
The best sediment transporting agent is water. This is because water is very powerful and can easily move sediment from one place to another.
What type of soil can retain the greatest amount of water?
Low permeability and Steep slope
What is river efficiency?
River efficiency is how easily a river can move water, sediment and bedload.
The ease with which water flows through the open spaces in a rock or sediment indicates the of the rock or sediment?
permeability
The ease with which water flows through the open spaces in a rock or sediment indicates the what of the rock or sediment?
The permeability.
How can you push sediment through your water pipes?
It's easier to find an exposed section of pipe and cut it out, remove sediment and replace pipe.
How is fine sediment filtered out of drinking water?
The water flows through a mixed media filter with layers of layers of gravel, sand, and charcoal or coal, which filter out fine sediment. The sediment is removed from the filter by backwashing, dewatered and disposed of in a landfill.
What is an underground layer of rock or sediment that allows water to flow through?
its the fequair layer
How is water filtered in a water filter?
Through a medium to remove either odor, sediment, heavy metals etc
What is the most common means of transporting sediment?
Through the action of running water, (Fluvial process).
What is a name of a rock that does not allow water to pass through?
the type of rock is called a rock that does not allow water to go through it
What caused the ocean to remove sediment from land?
Water, the transporter of sediment, seeks the lowest possible point for deposition. Rivers and streams carry sediment downward through elevations until they are deposited in oceans.
