SedimentationSedimentation is the process of allowing suspended solids in water to settle out through the effect of gravitational force. This process usually follows coagulation and flocculation to let colloidal particles (very fine solids) in raw water form larger particles or flocs first.

In phonology, a chain shift is a phenomenon in which several sounds move stepwise along a phonetic scale. The sounds involved in a chain shift can be ordered into a "chain" in such a way that, after the change is complete, each phoneme ends up sounding like what the phoneme before it in the chain sounded like before th... | <urn:uuid:75859040-d762-4b2b-8a80-4d972c72799d> | CC-MAIN-2015-32 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_shift | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2015-32/segments/1438042989891.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20150728002309-00226-ip-10-236-191-2.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.873809 | 1,142 | 4.15625 | 4 |
