Question

Collect some muddy water from a pond or a river. If it is not available, mix some soil to water in a glass.

Let it stand for half an hour. Observe the water carefully and note your observations.

Does some soil settle at the bottom of the water? Why? What will you call this process?​

Answer 1

Your answer is true that all of that

Answer 2

Yes, the soil is settled at the bottom of water as it's heavier than the water and hence the method of this separation is called Decantation.

Hope my answer is helpful and satisfied you....^•^
