What is the process that changes rock into sedimemts?
That would be the process of erosion or weathering. This is when water beats against rocks through rain or waves, and breaks them down into sediment.
What is the process that breaks down rock into sediment?
Weathering, friction from soil motion, decay from time, water infiltration, insects and animals.

What happens to rock after it breaks down?
it turns into sediment
What can weathering do to the land?
It breaks down sediment rock
What is the process that breaks down rock into sediment?
Weathering, friction from soil motion, decay from time, water infiltration, insects and animals.
What is the process in which sediment is laid down is called?
When sediment is laid down, this is known as deposition. The sediment is unconsolidated and so it is not (yet) a rock.
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.
The act or process by which wind or water sets down sediment?
The act or process by which wind or water sets down sediment is known as deposition. This is the common process that follows after erosion.
What is the process that moves sediment down hill?
erosion
How soil erosion might affect rock?
It breaks down rock, creating sediment
What is the process by which erosion lays down sediment in new locations?
deposition, fancy word for depositing sediment.
Why is Weathering important to erosion?
weathering breaks down rocks, which makes the sediment easy to be transported
