What deos sedimentation mean

This is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle out of fluid in which they are contained and come to rest against a barrier.

Explanation:

In sedimentation, the particles are in a fluid and under the influence of forces , for example, gravitational forces, they settle and then come to rest when faced with a barrier.

The settling process is the process in which the particles fall out of liquid and sedimentation is the end of the process.
