When is a stream most likely to deposit the rock and soil that its carrying?
It will start to deposit it's load when the gradient starts to become shallower which will cause a decrease in energy and so a reduction in ability to transport sediment load.
What are loose rock fragments?
Loose rock fragments can be caused by weathering, or indeed erosion. They can be found in a scree slope, and alluvial fan, a beach, in the soil (they are the soil, sometimes). Loose rock fragments are known to a geologist as 'Unconsolidated sediment' which can be classified into various groups. Consider alluvium; the deposit from a river.

What is the process that breaks down rock into sediment?
Weathering, friction from soil motion, decay from time, water infiltration, insects and animals.
What are the importance of ecology?
They are important in soil bioturbation, sediment porosity and ground water movement.
What combination of sediments creates the BEST soil?
The sediment of rock and water
What is an underground area of soil sand or rock that is saturated with water called?
