Question

What are the causes of sediments in causing marine pollution?

Answer 1

Answer:

For today, we will talk about one of the causes of physical marine pollution – Sedimentation. Sedimentation is the direct result of the loss (erosion) of sediments from other aquatic and land based areas. ... This has increased sedimentation due to the lack of vegetation roots, which acts as a binder for soil particles.

Sediment can come from soil erosion or from the decomposition of plants and animals. Wind, water and ice help carry these particles to rivers, lakes and streams. The Environmental Protection Agency lists sediment as the most common pollutant in rivers, streams, lakes and reservoirs.
