0 a natural process in which rock is formed from small pieces of sand, stone, etc. that have been left by water, ice, or wind :
But sedimentation and declining water quality threaten to turn it into a stagnant marsh in a matter of decades.
In the deep sea, the average rate of sedimentation is a centimeter per millennium.
The group is also concerned that sedimentation from logging activity will be harmful to the water.
Elevated sedimentation rates indicate the presence of inflammation.
The roles of sea level and tectonics in controlling sedimentation and facies architecture are recurrent themes.
Sedimentation of the coal-bearing succession was controlled by both autogenic and allogenic factors.
Hardgrounds overlain by metalliferous oxides locally record a hiatus in sedimentation, possibly on a tilted platform.
We present a model of sedimentation in a subsiding fluvio-deltaic basin with steady sediment supply and unsteady base level.
