The order in which the particles settle is:
large rocks
medium rocks
small pebbles
soil
Order of settling:
- As the river starts to lose velocity it's kinetic energy will decrease.
- Since it the river is losing velocity and its energy is being reduced, it generates less force.
- Heavier particles would require more force than the lighter particles to move them from one place to another.
- So when the river slows down the heavier particles would settle first as the river can not generate enough force and energy to move the heavier particles.
- So the order of settling of the particles will be from heavier to lighter particles.
