Encyclopedic overview
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. Sediment can also be produced and deposited by simple gravitational collapse, glacier ice, and wind.
