Answer:

Sedimentation is a process by which heavier impurities present in liquid normally water settle down at the bottom of the container containing the mixture. ... The process takes some amount of time.
- For example, sand and silt can be carried in suspension in river water and on reaching the sea bed deposited by sedimentation. If buried, they may eventually become sandstone and siltstone (sedimentary rocks) through lithification. ... Desert sand dunes and loess are examples of aeolian transport and deposition.
