What is the movement of sediment from one place to another by wind water waves gravity or glaciers?
Erosion is the process in which sediment moves from one location to another.Do not get this confused with deposition, which is the process in which sediment is dropped (deposited) in a new location.
The act or process by which wind or water sets down sediment?
The act or process by which wind or water sets down sediment is known as deposition. This is the common process that follows after erosion.
Is deposition the same as erosion?
No, deposition is the laying down or addition of sediments whereas erosion is the process of removal and transportation of sediment.
Is the process that lays down sediment in a new location?
Erosion is a wearing away process, which is what creates the sediment in the first place, but when sediment is laid down in a new location, that is not erosion, it's sedimentation.
How is deposition a part of the erosion process?
The part of the erosion process in which sediment is placed in a new location, or deposited.
The process by which erosion lays down sediment in new location is called?
Deposition
Process in which sediment is laid down in any location?
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.
Can transportation be another word for erosion?
No, erosion loss of sediment , transportation is the process by which that sediment is removed.
Process by which sediment is removed from its source definition?
Sediment is removed from its source through the process of Erosion.
When sediment turns into sedimentary rock does sedimentary rock turn back to sediment?

The process of moving sediment from one place to another?
It is called erosion.
What is the process that moves sediment down hill?
erosion
What process will turn an igneous rock into a sediment?

What is the name of the process that happens after erosion?
After erosion, sediment is usually deposited in a still environment.
