Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak\pink{answer}$

sedimentation:

Sedimentation 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

decantation:

Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension. ... An incomplete separation is witnessed during the separation of two immiscible liquids.
