Sediment is often deposited as the tide rises and falls. As the incoming and outgoing water crosses the beach or banks, sediments are deposited.
Aleen Paucek
Sedimentation refers to the process of particles settling out of a fluid, often leading to the formation of sedimentary layers. Deposition is a broader term that includes the accumulation of any material, not just sediments, onto a surface due to various processes such as sedimentation, erosion, or chemical reactions. So while sedimentation can lead to deposition of sediments, deposition itself can involve various materials and mechanisms beyond sedimentation.

What is the dropping or settling of eroded materials?
The process by which material is dropped or settles is called deposition. The deposition of rock fragments leads to the formation of sedimentary rocks through the process of lithification.
