Where are rock sediments deposited in nature?

Answer 1

Rock sediments are deposited at the bottom of a body of water, such as a river or lake. When the flow of water changes direction, the sediment has different momentum, so it does not change direction as fast, and it will collide with the river bank and then settle. Another way is when a river widens or enters a lake, the flow rate decreases, so the particles fall to the bottom. This can also be seen at a delta region when a river meets a gulf or ocean. The Mississippi Delta region in Louisiana the Gulf of Mexico is a good example of this.
