✔The process of settling down of a solid at the bottom of liquid is called $\bold{sedimentation}$.

✔In this, heavy particles settle down in a medium.

✔The soild which is present in that solution, settles down at the bottom of container because of gravity.

✔The particles which settle down due to the gravity are known as sediments.

✔Example:- Sand is mixed with water. Sand is not soluble, so it will settle down. In this activity sand act as a sediment.
