Sedimentation is the process by which particles settle out of a fluid, such as water or air, and accumulate as sediment. This natural process plays a crucial role in shaping ecosystems and is essential for the cycling of nutrients and minerals through various biogeochemical cycles. Sedimentation influences the formation of soil, the quality of water bodies, and the distribution of organisms in different habitats.
