Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

Figure H7-1 shows a soil proﬁle consisting of a clay layer underlain by layer of dense sand. Above the clay layer is a layer of sand. For the portion of the upper sand layer above the groundwater table, the moisture content (w) is 18%, the degree of saturation (S) is 80%, and the speciﬁc gravity of solids (Gs) is 2.68. Below the groundwater table, the moisture content is 20%. For the clay layer the moisture content is 40% and the speciﬁc gravity of solids is 2.70.
