ANSWER:
Sediment is the term given to soil that settles in water.
Sedimentation is the process of settling down of particles in the bottom of a water body.
EXPLANATION:
Hence, if soil settles down in the bottom of water, it is termed as sediment. As a matter of fact, anything that settles in water such as sand, gravel, stones, clay, slit etc are also called sediments.
However, if the soil flows with the water, it can’t be termed as sediment since it is in suspension.
