River deltas are formed by the deposit of river silt at the mouths of rivers.
Glaciers and rivers transport eroded rock material (sediment), that can form new sedimentary rock after deposition.
sediment was formed by weathering and erosion in a source area, and then transported to the place of deposition by water, wind, mass movement or glaciers which are called agents of denudation.
Sedimentary Rock. Strata is layers of sedimentary rock that form from the deposition of sediment.
the rocks form from the deposition and buildup of sediment over time.
i luvv one direction for life
Many bones and fossils were destroyed in the deposition of sediment, as others were light enough to not form a fossil.
Shale beaches are formed from the deposition of sediment form nearby shale cliffs which are eroded. The shale can also be deposited at a beach due to longshore drift.

yes a sediment is a form of carbon
It is a Deposition.
Primarily a combination of Gravity, solar energy in the form of wind or waves, and tectonic forces Erosion is the movement of sediment and deposition is when that sediment gets placed somewhere else. Water falls to the Earth in the water cycle, and gravity pulls the water (or ice) down hill, carrying sediment with it (erosion). As the speed of the water slows as the slope decreases, the larger and larger pieces of sediment are settled out of the water by the force of gravity, becoming deposited someplace else. If there is no water present, sediment can be transported by any other fluid as well, usually air in the form of wind. As the wind slows, gravity is again the main factor in deposition. Tectonic forces also cause events such as lava flows, mass wasting etc.
They form from deposition NOT EROSION!!
