Sediment

Real World Example

Imagine cleaning out your handbag or backpack and finding a mix of crumbs, dust, and small items that have settled at the bottom over time. This situation is akin to sediment, where particles of rock and other materials gradually settle out of water or wind and accumulate in layers. Just as these small items and debris in your bag are deposited by the daily 'winds' and 'waters' of your activities, sediment forms when particles carried by natural forces settle out of suspension and collect in a specific area.
