Deposition
This process is known as longshore drift.
The process that breaks down granite into sediments is weathering.
Yes. A slower current cannot carry as much sediment or particles as large as a faster current.
Weathering, friction from soil motion, decay from time, water infiltration, insects and animals.
When sediment is laid down, this is known as deposition. The sediment is unconsolidated and so it is not (yet) a rock.
This process is called compaction.

This process is called deposition
We use the term deposition to describe the process by which sediment is laid down in a body of water. The sediment is said to have been deposited at the bottom of the body of water, and more may follow to build a layer of sediment.
This process is known as longshore drift.

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 is known as deposition. This is the common process that follows after erosion.
