But some ionic compounds can overcome even the dissolving power of water and when they form through reactions in solution, they fall out as a solid precipitate.
When you decant an older wine, what you're doing is removing the sediment from the bottle, and that allows you to have a better drinking experience, so to speak.
It was chosen over 11 other sites because the yearly effects of human activity on the earth's soil, atmosphere and biology are clearly shown in its layers of sediment.
As Mr Liu and his team explored the rocks they came across more than 70 markings that looked like tracks—slight impressions in the sediment with tiny ridges sticking up along the sides.
That meant using renewables rather than fossil fuel; endeavouring to make carpet tiles out of carbohydrate polymers rather than petroleum; and recycling old-carpet sludge into pellets that could be used as backing.
