It depends on where the sediment is deposited. Not all sediment is deposited in a body of water. If the transport mechanism is a stream then the sediment can be deposited on the flood plain of the river or in a lake. If the sediment is deposited on the flood plain it will do two things. 1) The sediment of the flood plain will eventually lithify and 2) The river will continue to down cut and after X number of years the flood plain will no longer be subject to the flood waters of the river. At this point it is classified as a terrace (a flood plain of the past that is no longer inundated by flood water). The cycle basically starts over at this point with weathering and erosion processes breaking down and transporting the terrace sediment back into the river. If the sediment is transported to a lake, a delta will form. As the sediment is deposited in the lake the main channel of the river will extend out into the lake, this lowers the gradient of the main channel which slows the flow of water through the channel and allows for the deposition of sediment in the channel. When the main channel fills with sediment and no longer has the ability to channel all of the water from the river, dis-tributary channels will form these dis- tributary channels migrate across the delta transporting sediment as they go. Lithification takes place in the lower layers of the delta but this lithified sediment is only subjected to erosion during very high flows that are capable of transporting the sediment that covers the lithified layers.
Basically, no matter where the sediment is deposited, it is subject to the processes which weathered and transported it to its current location.
Wow really? these guys are just looking for a basic answer not an essay
Although the terms are frequently used together, weathering and erosion are uniquely different. Weathering is the physical, chemical and biotic breakdown of a substance and erosion is how it is carried off. Ice, water and wind contribute to the erosion process.
First of all there is weathering (erosion) of rocks at some place, they are carried away by wind or water at some other place and deposited there.Layers on layers are deposited to form sediments.
Unconformities in the rock layer. To expand: Eventually. The upper rocks have to be deposited on the original, eroded surface to create the uncomformity.
Erosion by Weathering
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
in erosion sediments are are deposited, in weathering sediments are taken away
Tornadoes do cause some soil erosion, though it is rarely significant. Eroded material must eventually by deposited, but this does not occur by any mechanism directly related to tornadoes.

Erosion
Any type of rock that is at or near the surface could be affected by weathering and erosion. Mountains are eventually flattened; caves are formed underground. Both are the result of weathering and erosion.
erosion.
The weathering break it down and erosion carries it to another place which turns to sediment eventually turns to soil.

Water, gravity, and wind.
== == First off deposition is the last step out of Erosion, Weathering and itself. Chemical weathering causes the erosional effects of glaciers which also incude deposition. An example is that soil in the nothern parts of the United States are deposited of material once carried by a glacier, which pretty much starts the whole process over again. Beginning with Chemical Weathering and ending with Deposition.
The action of wind erosion is more prominent in deserts because there is little vegetation cover and the soil cover is loose. As such sediments get easily carried and deposited by winds. Besides absence of other agents of erosion like water and ice makes wind the most prominent weathering agent in the deserts.
It is the process of erosion, carried out by the agents of wind, water, ice, and gravity.
