Sediment is not the end product of erosion, but rather a result of erosion. Erosion is the process of wearing away and transporting materials like rocks and soil, which eventually become sediment when deposited by water, wind, or ice. Sediment can later undergo further processes to form rocks or be re-eroded.
Sediment is a common product of weathering and erosion of rocks. As rocks break down into smaller pieces through these processes, they can be transported and deposited as sediment in different locations. Over time, this sediment can become compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.
Wind erosion and sediment transport by wind.
The material that is moved by erosion is called Sediment.
False. The process that lays down sediment in a new location is deposition, not erosion. Erosion is the process of wearing away and removing sediment from a location.
Water erosion begins when rainfall flows over the land carrying sediment with it. This type of erosion is known as sheet erosion.

Wind erosion and sediment transport by wind.
No, erosion loss of sediment , transportation is the process by which that sediment is removed.
Any and all rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion.
The material that is moved by erosion is called Sediment.
When sediment from erosion and weathering of rocks falls or lands somewhere.
Sediment is removed from its source through the process of Erosion.
Erosion deposits sediment.

Weathering and erosion produces and transports sediment.
It is called erosion.
