It is called sediment.
Angular unconformity is when rocks are deformed and then eroded and then new sediment is deposited on top. Disconformity is when igneous or metamorphic rocks are eroded and then sediment is deposited on top. Nonconformity is when either there is no deposition for some time and then deposition resumes or horizontal layers are eroded (but not deformed in any way) and then deposition resumes. These create gaps in the rock record.
Weathering of existing rock is the first step in the formation of most sedimentary rock, providing the sediment which will eventually be eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented together.
Yes and No An igneous rock can not just "become" a sedimentary rock, it first has to be weathered and eroded at the surface of the Earth. The debris produced is then washed away as sediment and deposited elsewhere. This deposited sediment then gradually hardens into a new rock which is a sedimentary rock. Thus until igneous rocks are exposed in outcrop, they remain as igneous rocks.
DINGOES
Most rivers have eroded and Deposited sediment.

Actually it can - but only if it is first eroded and deposited as sediment.

When rock layers are eroded or when a sediment is not deposited for a long period of time.

No! The term igneous refers to fire. Sediment refers tomaterial deposited from rocks that have been weathered and eroded.
Shale beaches are formed from the deposition of sediment form nearby shale cliffs which are eroded. The shale can also be deposited at a beach due to longshore drift.
Eroded soil can enter drains and waterways, causing them to build up with sediment.
When a glacier melts it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land, creating various landforms.
