Sediments
1. Moving water can hold and carry sediments.
2. The heaviest materials are usually in the lower layers of sediment.
3. As water slows down, it loses energy.
4. Sediments can be deposited by either wind or water.
5. Gravity is the force that pulls sediments to the bottom.
6. If moving water holds and carries materials, it is called a suspension.
7. Gravity is the force that pulls sediments down.
8. Waters of a major flood are a form of suspension.
9. To keep material suspended in water takes constant energy.
10. A flood would probably carry a ping-pong ball the farthest distance.
