Sedimentacija
Sedimentacija is a geological process where solid particles, known as sediments, settle and accumulate in a body of water or on the surface of the Earth. This process is driven by the force of gravity, which causes particles to settle out of suspension and form layers of sediment. Sedimentation is a crucial part of the rock cycle, as it leads to the formation of sedimentary rocks, which make up a significant portion of the Earth's crust.
The rate and type of sedimentation depend on various factors, including the energy of the transporting medium
Sediments can be classified based on their size, shape, and composition. Common types of sediments include clastic
Sedimentation plays a vital role in shaping the Earth's surface and influencing its geological history. The
