In particular, the coastal cliffs of Rügen have been eroded by breakers and sea currents and the sediments dumped sand and gravel between the island cores as bars and spits.
For small enough particles (low Reynolds number), the drag force varies linearly with the terminal velocity, i.e., (Stokes flow) where f depends only on the properties of the particle and the surrounding fluid.
Because the source of the Indus River is glacial meltwater from the Himalayas, the river carries huge amounts of sediment.

Neal Stephenson named half of his novel The Confusion after the port, and had a character describe it as functioning as a chief treasure port of Spain until 1686, and as losing to Cádiz most of what would earlier have been part of its trade, due to the combined effects of increasing vessel draft and of sedimentation at the mouth the river Guadalquivir.
Adolf Seilacher suggests that they adhered to microbial mats, and that the growth phases represented the organism keeping pace with sedimentation—growing through new material deposited on it that would otherwise bury it.
The increase of sedimentation due to intensive logging activities in Berau estuary nearby and in the adjacent watershed areas.
However, one of the main objectives of the game reserve is to serve as regulator of silting and sedimentation which threatens the multipurpose Tiga Dam which is the backbone of the Kano River Project.
In the Hochkalter and Hocheis Groups, the harder Dachstein limestone predominates, rock that was formed by sedimentation in the Tethys Ocean during the Late Triassic stage (220 million years ago).
The Mason–Weaver equation (named after Max Mason and Warren Weaver) describes the sedimentation and diffusion of solutes under a uniform force, usually a gravitational field.
A high rate of sedimentation from the outflow of the three major rivers (Fraser River, Columbia River, and Klamath River) which cross the Cascade Range contributes to further obscuring the presence of a trench.
This fragmented the river, altered its flow, reduced oxygen levels in the water, increased sedimentation, and changed the flood regime of the system.
By using the Stokes' law, we can estimate the sedimentation rate of the particle in Liquid.
On 24 October 1963, the Lengede-Broistedt mine near Salzgitter was flooded with 500,000 m³ of muddy water after a sedimentation pond had broken its ground and the tunnels between the 60 m and 100 m levels.
