Question

differentiate between sedimentation and devastation. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Sedimentation is the process of settling or being deposited as sediment while decantation is the process of separating two immiscible substances via pouring off one substance. This is the main difference between sedimentation and decantation. One other difference between sedimentation and decantation is in their process. The sedimentation process uses gravity, centrifugal acceleration or electromagnetism in the separation process whereas the decantation does not need any force that acts on the particles of the mixture; we can simply pour off the liquid layer on the top of the container. Apart from that, another important difference between sedimentation and decantation is that the sedimentation involves two phases of matter as solid phase and liquid phase while the decantation process involves either one phase or two phases of matter; liquid-liquid mixtures or solid-liquid mixtures.

Answer 2

Answer: Sedimentation is the process of allowing particles in suspension in water to settle out of the suspension under the effect of gravity.

Devastation is severe and widespread destruction or damage.
