Source sentences:
text: Sediment is transported based on the strength of the flow that carries it and its own size, volume, density, and shape.
text: If the upwards velocity is approximately equal to the settling velocity, sediment will be transported downstream entirely as suspended load.
text: Illustrating the sediment size distribution over a shoreline profile, where finer sediments are transported away from high energy environments and settle out of suspension, or deposit in calmer environments.
text: In the context of stream hydrology, sediment is inorganic and organic material that is transported by, suspended in, or deposited by streams.
text: When the sediment is transported from the continent, an alternation of sand, clay and silt is deposited.
text: One advantage of this approach is that deposition in the reservoir is minimized and the sediment continues to be transported downstream during the flood season when sediment is naturally discharged by the river.
text: Therefore, the sediment being transported has a finer texture than the source soil material.
text: It can help a geologist interpret the geomorphic setting (both present and historical) of a site, as well as whether the sediment was transported there from regional or local settings.
