Minerals deposited by a river are called silt.
To separate sand from heavy minerals, a common method involves using water to create a density separation. The mixture is placed in a container with water, allowing the lighter sand to float while the denser heavy minerals sink. The sand can then be decanted off the top, leaving the heavy minerals at the bottom. Alternatively, techniques like using a shaking table or a spiral concentrator can also effectively separate these materials based on their density and size.
Yes, halite (rock salt) is relatively heavy compared to other minerals. Its density is around 2.2-2.6 g/cm3, which is higher than most common minerals found on Earth.
placer deposits
Minerals that are heavy, durable, and chemically resistant are typically found in deposits such as placer deposits, where erosion has concentrated these minerals in riverbeds or coastal areas. They can also be found in igneous and metamorphic rocks, where they form under high temperatures and pressures. Examples include minerals like gold, platinum, and certain heavy metal oxides. These deposits are often mined for their economic value due to their stability and resistance to weathering.
A river carries sediment due to its high flow velocity. When a river reaches the ocean, this flow velocity is decreased and therefore not strong enough to carry the sediments farther. Thus, sediments are deposited or dumped when a river reaches an ocean or lake where the flow velocity is generally less than that of rivers.
estuary
Placer deposits form when minerals are eroded from their original source rocks and are then transported by water and deposited in areas where the flow velocity decreases, such as river beds, beaches, or valleys. These deposits often contain valuable minerals such as gold, diamonds, and heavy metals.
Large boulders are not typically deposited by wind because they are too heavy to be carried long distances by wind erosion.
Iron. That's why its so heavy.

Heavy copper wire is used for heavy current loads.

It is on the starter itself and is called the starter solenoid. Heavy current is handled by the solenoid which is activated by the ignition switch. Current comes from the igniton switch, then to the s terminal on the starter which then connects heavy amperage to the starter motor itself.
