This contaminates water, making it undrinkable, and sediment quickly fills the lake.

Ironically, they also increase the flood risk because when flows are low, sediment fills in the riverbed.

Endocasts are formed when sediments fill the empty skull, after which the skull is destroyed.

Because subsidence occurred faster than sediment could fill it, the Gulf of Mexico expanded and deepened.

The result is often a very large estuary at the mouth of a relatively insignificant river (or else sediments would quickly fill the ria).

The sediment of his sin nearly filled the jug.

At the same time, sediment filled the lakes behind the dams.

Since impact, sediment filled part of the crater, giving it its present triangular shape.

At some later date, undisturbed sediments, or glacial till may fill the collapse zone.

When an animal dies and the soft tissues decay, sediments fill the orifices of the bones including the brain case inside the skull.
