Sediments are particles that are deposited on the ground. They can settle out from water, they can be transported by water and they can be transported by wind.
Sediment is solid material which has settled to the bottom of impure water. It can form in the bottom of a container or at the bottom of a natural body of water such as a stream, lake or ocean.
