I just got hooked on the radio, the voice of it all. It was my connection to metropolitan America, if you will. Sports, in particularly baseball then 'cause of its rich sediment of numbers, was one of the first things a young person could peg up with adults on - that is, you could know as much about Jimmy Fox as your father did.

The success of the suffrage movement would injure women spiritually and intellectually, for they would be assuming a burden though they knew themselves unable to bear it. It is the sediment, not the wave, of a sex. It is the antithesis of that highest and sweetest mystery - conviction by submission, and conquest by sacrifice.

When whales die, their bodies sink to the bottom of the ocean and over time become part of the marine sediment layer, where they can sequester the carbon dioxide they have accumulated during their life span, an average of 33 tons for a great whale species, keeping it out of the atmosphere for hundreds or thousands of years.

Richard Leakey

For fossils to thrive, certain favorable circumstances are required. First of all, of course, remnants of life have to be there. These then need to be washed over with water as soon as possible, so that the bones are covered with a layer of sediment.

At the point when continuity was interrupted by the first nuclear explosion, it would have been too easy to recover the formal sediment which linked us with an age of poetic decorum, of a preoccupation with poetic sounds.

Italian Author

Carrie Fisher

I have two moods. One is Roy, rollicking Roy, the wild ride of a mood. And Pam, sediment Pam, who stands on the shore and sobs... Sometimes the tide is in, sometimes it's out.

Furthermore, both Pennsylvania and New Jersey Departments of Environmental Protection have evaluated the sediment to be dredged and also found it to be not toxic.

The sediments of the past are many miles in collective thickness: yet the feeble silt of the rivers built them all from base to summit.

Irish Scientist

Sally Ride

We can see cities during the day and at night, and we can watch rivers dump sediment into the ocean, and see hurricanes form.

I've collected John Ward pieces for years. Ward represents ideas of nature and of sediments.

Irish Designer

Picture small particles slowly dropping to the bottom of a still glass of water to understand sediment.

Visual Imagery

Sediment can be fine and hard to see until it collects in large amounts.

Not Always Visible

Sediment often implies natural particles in outdoor bodies of water, not typically in domestic settings.

Context Specific

Understand that sediment is not man-made but naturally formed by environmental agents.

Natural Formation

Layers of sediment can show the passage of time, almost like a historical record.

Time Indicator

Sediment is the outcome of a natural process, not the process itself.

Resultant Material

Sedimentation refers to the process, so it's used in scientific and technical contexts.

Scientific Process

In science, measuring sedimentation helps understand the behavior of particles in a solution.

Measurable Aspect

High sedimentation can indicate impurities in liquids, often a concern in chemistry or manufacturing.

Clarity and Purity

 and the pictures that we can take of the surface, and the things that we can do on the surface to ground truth that data. This data, we can resolve things that are about 20 meters across. The camera has a resolution of six meters per pixel. And we can see that channel now coming in from the upper left and draining out into a fan of sediment. We call this an alluvial fan.

Mars Up Close, Part 2:...

 simply diverting water and very specific ways based on the kind of recorded set of histories we've seen of how this behaves we're able to in a sense guide you know massive amounts of sediment in very specific directions and then I mean I mean it's basically what what it says it is it's printing where we want want

 the reason that they like the same places that are shrimp do is the shrimp are keeping it clean and they're sweeping off the sediment from the bottom they're turning a lot of that material into their own bodies and that the shrimp are able to use a lot of things that would otherwise

 that mean for the long-term stability of those populations we even had some rare and endangered birds that we're actually nesting out here and today nothing they're all gone there is an effort to restore this island and to bring in sediment back and the mangroves back so

The Gulf Oil Spill...

 underneath all the world's oceans that extends hundreds of meters into the seafloor, which is cool, but the only problem is that nobody believed him, and the reason that nobody believed him is that ocean sediments may be the most boring place on Earth.

 Otherwise, you'd better hope the sediments around you harden while your bones decay away and another sediment or mineral fills in the spaces your bones leave behind, creating a perfect cast of your skeleton. Over time, the sediments around your fossil

 Deltas are a kind of landmass formed when sediment carried by rivers is deposited where that river meets a larger body of water. River deltas are incredibly fertile ecosystems capable of supporting abundant agriculture and marine life.

 I hadn't realized it was based on concrete measurements of what the paleoclimates -- the ancient climates -- were, as recorded in the ice sheets, as recorded in deep ocean sediments,
