what is sedimentation and Decantation
Answers
The process of particles settling to the bottom of a body of water is called sedimentation. Layers of sediment in rocks from past sedimentation show the action of currents, reveal fossils, and give evidence of human activity. Sedimentation can be traced back to the Latin sedimentum, "a settling or a sinking down."
Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension. To put it in a simple way decantation is separating an immiscible solution by transferring the top layer of the solution to another container.
