8. Theoretically, fan material will be more compact at first 

 than still-water deposits of the same textural grade, as each particle 

 drops to the bottom with greater force and the film of water around 

 each particle is not so thick. After water is drained from both 

 deposits, still-water deposits are likely to be more cracked than 

 fan materials, because they contract more. After cementation, 

 still-water deposits, say of clay, will have more veinlets than fan 

 materials of the same texture.
