There are actually three processes that move sediment, all involving a fluid: flowing water, blowing wind (air is a fluid), and ice movement by glaciers (also a fluid). The viscosity of the fluid determines what size of particle will be moved. Because of its low viscosity, wind will only move clay to sand size particles. Glacial ice, on the other hand, has a very high viscosity and can move house-size rocks. The particle sizes moved by water falls in between the extremes of wind and glaciers.

How is sediment?
The sediment transport by the rock cycle
Picking up sediment and moving it to another area is called what?
Picking up sediment and moving it to another area is known as sediment transport.
What transport where molecules are actively leaving the cells?
When molecules are actively leaving and entering cells, this process is called active transport. It is the only way of transportation that involves energy.
