什么是 Sediment?

Definition 21.1 Primary & Middle School Earth and Space Sciences · 第 21 章 — Sediments and Fossils

A sediment is loose material laid down by water, wind or ice: gravel, sand, mud, or the shells and skeletons of living things. It collects at the bottom of rivers, lakes and seas, and on land where the wind or the ice drops it.

Sediment settling in a lake (a drawing, not to scale). After each flood a layer of sand settles, then fine mud in the calm weeks that follow: layer after layer builds up on the bottom.
