When is sediment deposited in bodies of water?
We use the term deposition to describe the process by which sediment is laid down in a body of water. The sediment is said to have been deposited at the bottom of the body of water, and more may follow to build a layer 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.

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.
Why is sediment usually laid down in flat layers?
bcuz of the gravity
