Answer: The material formed by weathering that is then eroded and deposited is called SEDIMENTS.

Explanation:

Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down to form Sediments. There are three forces that can cause weathering of a rock they include:

- Biological weathering: example tree roots, and lichens.

- Chemical weathering: example, water, acid, or gases.

- Mechanical weathering: example, wind, rain, water freezing.

These Sediments that are generated during the course of weathering is moved from one place to another through a natural force called EROSION. The dropping of the Sediments in a new place is known as deposition. The collective effects of weathering,erosion and deposition leads to:

- landslides

-Changes in shape, size and texture of land forms.

- soil formation

- washes soil, pollutants, harmful sediments into water ways. I hope this helps, thanks.

Can sedimentation and decantation be used for all types of mixtures? Explain
Bumek [7]

Explanation:

1. Sedimentation and decantation cannot be used for all types of mixtures.

Decantation is a separation technique in which is used to separate immiscible liquids or mixtures containing liquid and solids within them.

In decantation, gravity is used to bring the denser materials to settle at the bottom.

For homogenous mixtures, it is not possible to use decantation. A solution of sugar and water will not decant.

2. Yes, mass of an object reduces the settling time of such object in a mixture.

The higher the mass, the faster the rate of settling. Also, as we know, mass is directly proportional to density. A body with a high density will settle faster in solution.
