Question

What happen if you mix soil in a glass of water and pour out the water from the bottle

what settled at the bottom of the bottle when you let it rest?

this is a science subject

Answer 1

When you mix soil in a glass of water and then allow it to settle, you will observe that different components of the soil will settle at the bottom of the glass over time. This process is called sedimentation.

The settling will occur in layers with the heaviest and largest particles settling first and the finer particles taking longer to settle.

Answer 2

In a suspension, soil mixed with water will settle at the bottom due to sedimentation, resulting in clearer water above the settled soil particles.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you mix soil in a glass of water and let it settle, the heavier particles from the soil will settle at the bottom of the glass. This process is known as sedimentation, which is typical of a suspension. A suspension is where particles are temporarily suspended in a liquid but given time, they sink due to gravity. Muddy water is a classic example of a suspension. Over time, as the soil particles settle, clear water will remain at the top and can be poured off leaving the soil behind.
