Hey! That wasn't me that said "rising flood waters"!
I have a question related to that though, how do layers of sediment form? I
still remember about 5 years ago when my younger brother did an experiment
at school to show how layers formed, and they got a jar, 3/4 filled it with
all different types of soil and sand and bits of sticks and rock, then
filled the rest up with water. They put a lid on the jars and had to shake
them for ages and once it was totally mixed up they left them on the window
sills of their class room. The next time they were in that room, a few days
later, each type of soil had formed its own layer, with all the sticks and
rocks at the top. How on earth would this happen slowly?
