Why is weathering important to the rock cycle?
If there is no weather on earth we might not be able to live. weather also brings us food by giving us rain for our crops.
What carries the sediment away?

How do glaciers accumulate their load of sediment?
Glaciers accumulate sediment through various processes. As glaciers move, they pluck and erode rocks from the underlying bedrock, entraining them into the ice. Glaciers also grind and crush the rocks they come into contact with, generating glacial flour or fine-grained sediment. Additionally, glaciers can transport sediment that has been deposited on their surface by wind or landslides, adding to their load of sediment.
Can ice carry sediment?
Yes. Glaciers carry large amounts of sediment. When that sediment is deposited it is called glacial till.
Do glaciers have the smallest rocks in them?
They can. because, glaciers pick up sediment as they go along slowly.
Do valley glaciers deposit till and out wash?
yes, along with continental glaciers
What causes wind to deposit sand and or other sediment?
When the wind starts to slow down it starts to deposit sand or other sediment.
What is the synonym for deposit?
bank deposit, sediment, down payment, alluviation, dethronement, sedimentation, depositary, deposition, depository, deposit, repository
