Why are sediments deposited?

Sediments are deposited mainly due to the action of gravity, erosion, and transportation mechanisms such as water, wind, and glaciers. As these agents move sediment particles, they eventually settle in locations where the energy of the transporting agent decreases, like riverbeds, lake bottoms, or the ocean floor. Once the energy decreases sufficiently, the sediment particles are no longer kept in suspension and are deposited.


Tiny bits of rock and dirt that build up on the bottoms of rivers and lakes are?

How does silt form?

Silt forms through the erosion and weathering of rocks and minerals, which break down into fine particles. These particles are carried by water, wind, or ice and then deposited in low-velocity areas such as riverbeds, lake bottoms, and estuaries. Over time, these deposited particles accumulate and form silt deposits.
