沉降

Which is formed as a result of geological vicissitudes including diastrophic movement, eruption of volcano, sedimentation, glaciation and weathering etc.

这些杂质通常都是由地质运动造成的，包括地壳运动，火山爆发，沉降，冰河和风化等等

Investigation of sediment depth was made and the results show most of the sediments are deposited in the western shore-line area and Meiliang Bay. The laboratory results raise the possibility that there is significant difference in chemical or physical properities in the upper 10cm sediment, which suggests sediments are frequently resuspended in this layer.

通过对太湖底泥厚度的调查，发现太湖中底泥主要分布在西部沿岸和北部的梅梁湾；对底泥中各种理化特征垂直分布的分析表明，在表层5-10cm内，容重、粒径、含水率及有机质含量随深度的变化显著，说明表层5-10cm是底泥中频繁发生侵蚀－沉降－再侵蚀的活跃层。

These diseases are associated with pathogens including bacteria, cyanobacteria, fungi, and protists and with abiotic stressors including elevated seawater temperature, sedimentation, eutrophication,and pollution. Etiologies of only 5 of the 18 coral diseases have been determined through fulfillment of Koch's postulates.

这些疾病的病原体主要包括细菌、蓝藻、真菌和原生生物以及非生物因素，如海水温度升高、沉降、富营养化和污染。18种疾病中只有5种病因通过科赫假设已确定。
