"Sediment" refers to solid particles that settle at the bottom of a liquid, often formed from the erosion of rocks and minerals. It can include a variety of materials, such as sand, silt, clay, and organic matter. Sediments are commonly found in rivers, lakes, and oceans, playing a crucial role in geological and ecological processes. Over time, layers of sediment can compact and lithify to form sedimentary rock.
