Which type of sediment can be found far from its source explain?
Sediment that is finer than sand is sometimes deposited in layers far from its source.
What type of sediment can be found far from its source?
Smaller sediment, such as silt and clay. It is smaller, so it can be carried higher into stronger winds, which blow the small sediment far from its source.

How does loess deposit form?
Loess deposits is form when sediment that is finer than sand, such as particles of clay and silt, is deposited into layers far from its source.
Loess is sediment made up of fine particles of silt that have been deposited far from their source by?
Wind
Where can erratic boulders be found?
On land or seafloor, where they were deposited by glaciers, far from their original source.
Are sediment depositions caused by earthquakes?
Earthquakes can trigger (submarine)landslides and debris flows which can act to cause the deposition of sediment, however they are far from the only cause of sediment deposition.

What type of nuclear reaction can produce a limitless source of energy?
You probably mean nuclear fusion, using heavy water found in the oceans. This would not be absolutely limitless, ie not strictly renewable, but as far as human existence goes it would be virtually limitless
Does sediment form before soil?
Yes. Soil is sediment that has been weathered and deposited and can support rooted plant life. You will generally not hear a geologist distinguish between soil and sediment but instead refer to both as sediment. This is typically because they are dealing with time-lines that far exceed a soil's lifespan and whether it is soil or sediment is not relevant. However, a soil scientist will always distinguish between the two and will not designate the sediment as a soil until certain criteria has been met.- This answer is complicated.~SatsuiEvilRyu
