Soil in a 2.000 m wide x 2.000 long and 1.125 m deep container weighs 7,435 kg (7.435 x 103 kg) when completely dry. The soil is watered until it is fully saturated. After several days the soil drains to field capacity and weighs a total of 8,473 kg (8.473 x 103 kg). Assuming the density of 2650 kg/m3 (2.650 x 103 kg/m3 ) for solid rock (ρr) and 1000 kg/m3 (1.000 x 103 kg/m3 ) for water (ρw), determine the following values

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.
