Sedimentator Lab Introduction: in this lab we will be working with a sedimentator to observe and classify sediments. A sediment is naturally-occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion‚ and is subsequently transported by the action of fluids such as wind‚ water‚ or ice. Side One Purpose: to observe and classify sediments Part I 1. Gently shake the sedimentator to loosen the sediments and lay the sedimentator on its side 2. Observe the water

favorable for farming. The continuous supplies of minerals‚ silt‚ left over from the flooding replenish the soil. Also‚ many archeologists found ditches that indicate that the Mesopotamians had an irrigation system. The placement of dikes suggests that the Mesopotamians used them in order to get rid of excess water from the flooding. Also‚ by using this system‚ the Mesopotamians will have a supply of water throughout the city and excess silt won’t layer the ground. However‚ it is through flooding that
