The lightest would go further so the sand then the heavier ones like mud would not go that far to the stream. I think that sand will go further than the gravel then the mud! Hope that helped! Although I'm not sure about the answer! See ya! I tried helping!

How can you separate sawdust from gravel?

Place the sawdust and gravel mixture in water and stir. Let it sit for a time - the gravel will fall to the bottom and the sawdust will float on the top. Density of gravel is greater than water and density of sawdust (wood) is less than water. The layer of sawdust can be carefully removed by skimming it off water's surface or by pouring gravel and sawdust through a series of mesh screens of varying size (the screens can be used with dry or wet mixture)I would use the difference in density of the two materials. A simple method would be to have a stream of the mixed materials poured from a higher elevation to a lower, with a stream of air blowing across the stream. Being less dense, the sawdust will be blown to one side, the gravel will drop straight down. Of course, you COULD just drop the mixed materials into water- sawdust floats, gravel does not. Sawdust will also burn, where gravel will not. Roasting the gravel at a heat above the combustion point of sawdust will cause it to ignite, burning the sawdust away, leaving gravel. Of course, if you have plenty of time, just turn a few termites loose on the mix- they will eat wood- but not gravel!


Would a screen be useful for separating a mixture of gravel and diatomaceous-earth?

yes it would. you could also separate it with a magnet then the gravel would stick to the magnet. +++ Magnetic gravel? You can separate diatomaceous earth from gravel simply by sieving. Gravel is not magnetic (unless it happens to be a magnetic ore of iron!).

Can clouds ride the jet stream?

Clouds are pushed by wind currents, including the jet stream, but they do not "ride" the jet stream like a vehicle would. The jet stream can affect the position and movement of clouds, but clouds are not carried along by the jet stream in the same way that a plane might be.


When gravel water and wax beads are combined would they?

The gravel will float and the wax beads will sink

Which sediments would a stream carry at 5 cm?

In a stream, heavy sediments settle quickly and finer sediments stay suspended in the water and get carried down stream farther, even as the stream shrinks in size.


Would you use furthest most or just furthest in a sentence?

In a sentence you would use 'furthest' over 'furthest most.' "Furthest most' is redundant and many readers would begin to question your intelligence if you were to write that. I would know because I still remember the talking to that my teacher gave me for using it in 2nd grade. If I were you I would stick to 'furthest.'

Which component move furthest and why in an paper chromotography?

The component that moves the furthest in paper chromatography is the one that is most attracted to the solvent and has the least interaction with the paper. This usually means that the component is less polar than others and is better able to dissolve in and be carried by the mobile phase.


Are sound waves in solar energy?

No, sound wave is translating wave of the matter. The solar energy is the wave carried by photon which is an energy (non-matter). There is no way a sound wave would be carried in the stream of photon.

How do you use gravel in a sentence?

I would not recommend the use of gravel for a driveway as everytime you drive over it gravel is flicked about by the car tyres.


Which groups of particles sizes can be transported by a stream that has a velocity equal to 20 cms?

A stream with a velocity of 20 cm/s can transport particles up to fine sand size (0.0625 - 2 mm). Larger particles such as gravel and boulders would require a faster flow velocity to be transported.

Which earth materials are deposited first as the water in a river slows down?

Larger particles are deposited first as a stream loses velocity. Gravel would be deposited first, since it is the largest (out of Clay, Silt, Sand, and Gravel)
