Process by which sediment settles out of the water or wind carrying it?

The process by which sediment settles out of the water or wind carrying it is called sedimentation. Sedimentation occurs when the velocity of the fluid (water or wind) decreases, allowing the sediment particles to fall out of suspension and accumulate on the surface below. This process is a natural part of erosion and deposition in the Earth's geologic cycle.


How does a sediment have the ability to release fluid?

permeability


What is the fluid left above sediment after centrifugation called?

Centrifugation is the process of separating two immiscible liquids. The fluid which is above the sediment after centrifugation, is called the supernatant.


How does absorbancy work?

The fluid just settles in the pores (air pockets/holes)of the material.


What is Kinematic similarity?

A relationship between fluid-flow systems in which corresponding fluid velocities and velocity gradients are in the same ratios at corresponding locations.


Which sediment will allow water to pass through most easily?

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


v.Does high fluid velocity and low fluid velocity affect the value of Cd?

Yes, fluid velocity can impact the value of the drag coefficient (Cd). At low fluid velocities, Cd may be influenced more by the object's shape and surface roughness. At high fluid velocities, Cd can be affected by factors such as boundary layer separation and turbulence, potentially leading to a change in Cd value.


What does the word sediment mean and how does it relate to sedentary?

Sediment natural material the has broken down and been carried by a fluid. The mud at the bottom of river is sediment. Sedimentary rock, for example, is rock formed by the compression of mud.Sediment and sedentary share the Latin root sedere, which means 'to sit'. Sediment settles or sits at the bottom of bodies of water, and some one is is sedentary is seated a lot.


How does sediment settle?

The process of dropping sediments is called deposition.


In stratified layers of sedimentary rock what is it called when sediment settles on the bottom and large grains settled on top?

In stratified layers of sedimentary rock, the phenomenon where larger grains settle on top of finer sediments is known as "graded bedding." This occurs during sediment deposition in a fluid environment, where the energy of the transporting medium decreases, causing larger particles to settle first, followed by smaller particles. This can often be observed in underwater landslides or turbidity currents, where sediment is rapidly deposited.


When sediment collects in an area it is called?

When sediment collects in an area, it is called sedimentation. This process occurs when particles settle out of a fluid and accumulate on a surface, forming layers of sediment over time.


What does sedimentation produces?

Sedimentation is the process where particles in suspension can settle out of the fluid where they have been transported, and begin to rest on a barrier.
