Sediments move around due to the combination of the force of gravity acting on the sediment and or the movement of the fluid in which the sediment is entrained. Movement may either be made by air, water or ice. Sediment movement in fluids occurs in water bodies as a result of water currents and tides.

Why are sediments deposited?
Sediments are deposited when the water flow begins to decrease. When this happens, the water can no longer move the sediment around, therefore, sediments will fall to the bottom.
How does sediment move from place to place?
Sediments move place to place by Erosion.
When freezing and thawing cause sediments to move slowly downhill what takes place?
erosion
What is the difference between sediments in the outwash and sediments in the moraines?
Sediments that are in outwash are sorted sediments, organized by size, while sediments that are in moraine are unsorted.
What is deposition in weathering?
The dropping of the sediments or DEPOSITING the sediments
What happens to the sediments as they move around?
They gradually get smaller
What happens to sediments as they move around?
The rocks will gradually get smaller
Why are sediments deposited?

How do sediments move?
How do sediment move
What happenes during isokinetic exercise?
Muscles contract and relax to move a joint.
What is a force is responsible for a rivers capability to move sediments?
The force that is responsible for moving sediments in a river is the current.
How does sediment move from place to place?
Sediments move place to place by Erosion.
Which type of mass movement occurs when sediments slowly move downhill because freezing and thawing?
The process in which sediments move slowly downhill, is called creep. It is common where freezing and thawing occur. As ice expands in soil, it pushed sediments up. Then as soil thaws, the sediments move farther downslope. Over time, creep can move large amounts of sediment, possibly causing damage to some structures
What is gravity causing rock or sediments to move downhill?
erosion
What happenes to the temperature as one move from the equator to the poles?
temperatures starts to decrease in degrees and the days get shorter
How does sediment how from place to place?
Sediments move place to place by Erosion.
What happenes to the particles of a solid as the thermal energy of the solid increases?
they move faster, eventually changing the solid into a liquid
