Question

Define:
1. Sedimentation​

Answer 1

Answer:

the process of settling or being deposited as a sediment

Answer 2

Answer:

the action or process of forming or depositing sediment is known as sedimentation

Explanation:

This is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier. This is due to their motion through the fluid in response to the forces acting on them: these forces can be due to gravity, centrifugal acceleration, or electromagnetism. Sedimentation used in geology to describe the deposition of sediment which results in the formation of sedimentary rock, but it is also used in various chemical and environmental fields to describe the motion of often smaller particles and molecules. This process is also used in the biotech industry to separate cells from the culture media.
