How sediment accumulates?

Sediment accumulation is where sediment accumulates generally in the point of the lowest elevation. If sediment is in a river generally the sediment will accumulate at the mouth of the delta when entering the marine environment (proximal to distal).


Describe how a sedimentary rock can show how fast water was flowing when its sediment were laid down?

Water and water flow are the main contributors to erosion of all rock types. Water flow assists in the transportation of these eroded rock particles to a point of deposition, where additional layers of sediment are added. Eventually, cementation of the rock particles may occur, forming a sedimentary rock.
