• Definitions:
• deposit as a sediment matter that has been deposited by some natural process settle as 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.
• Topsoil, sand, and minerals washed from the land into water, usually after rain or snow melt. Sediments collecting in rivers, reservoirs, and harbors can destroy fish and wildlife habitat and cloud the water so that sunlight cannot reach aquatic plants. ...
• The organic material that is transported and deposited by wind and water.
• Solid material (both mineral and organic) that is in suspension, is being transported, or has been moved from its site of origin by air, water, gravity, or ice and has come to rest on the earth’s surface.
• Soil particles that have been transported away from their natural location by wind or water action.
• Solid matter deposited in a bottle during the course of the maturation process. Sediment is generally a sign that the wine was not excessively filtered prior to bottling.
• Loose, unconsolidated material of the following compositions: 1. Rock fragments (also called clasts) transported by wind, moving water, or moving ice, such as sand 2. Chemical precipitates from solution, such as salt 3. Organic secretions or accumulation, such as coal
• insoluble material suspended in water that consists mainly of particles derived from rocks, soil, and organic materials; a major nonpoint source pollutant to which other pollutants may attach.
• material that was suspended in water and that settles at the bottom of a body of water.
• Material such as mud and sand that has been moved and deposited by water, ice or wind
• Matter which settles to the bottom of a tank, pond, river or ocean.
• Loose aggregate of solids derived from preexisting rocks, or solids precipitated from solution by inorganic chemical processes or extracted from solution by organisms.
• means solid material, mineral or organic, that is in suspension, is being transported, or has been moved from its site of origin by air, water or gravity as a product of erosion.
• The yeast material at the bottom of a bottle of conditioned beer.
• material, such as dirt and stones, that is deposited by wind, water, glaciers, or that settles to the bottom of a body of water
• The soil, sand and minerals at the bottom of surface waters, such as streams, lakes and rivers. Sediments capture or adsorb contaminants. The term may also refer to solids that settle out of any liquid.
• rock and soil particles that have been transported and deposited by water.
• The silt, sand, rocks, wood and other solid material that gets washed out from some places and deposited in others.
• mineral or organic matter deposited by water, air, ice, etc
• Material deposited by water, wind or glaciers.
• Small particles, mostly of color, that drop out of suspension as a wine ages. With considerable age, many great wines throw off a sediment. Sediment is harmless.
• Usually applied to material in suspension in water or recently deposited from suspension
• loose particles and bits of rocks (sand, silt and gravel) created by erosion and moved around by wind, water, or ice
• the material produced by the effects of weathering rocks close to or at the surface of the Earth.
• Sand, clay, silt, pebbles and organic material deposited in water.
• Small pieces of rock, shell, and plant and animal matter that is moved and deposited by water, wind, or ice.
