Sediment
Sediment is any particulate matter that can be transported by
fluid flow and which eventually is deposited as a layer of solid particles on the bed or bottom of a body of water or other liquid. Sedimentation is the deposition by
settling of a
suspended material. Sediments are also transported by wind (
eolian) and
glaciers.
Desert sand dunes and
loess are examples of aeolian transport and deposition.
Glacial moraine deposits and
till are ice transported sediments. Simple gravitational collapse also creates sediments such as talus and mountainslide deposits as well as
karst collapse features. Each sediment type has different settling velocities, depending on size, volume, density, and shape.

Sédiment
Le sédiment de n'importe quelle matière peut être transporté par le mouvement d'un fluide (air, eau, glacier) et est éventuellement déposé, formant une couche de particules solides sur le lit ou fond d'un cours d'eau ou d'autre liquide.
