Sediments move around due to the combination of the force of gravity acting on the sediment and or the movement of the fluid in which the sediment is entrained. Movement may either be made by air, water or ice. Sediment movement in fluids occurs in water bodies as a result of water currents and tides.

Sediments move downstream through processes like erosion, transportation, and deposition by the force of water, wind, or ice. As water flows, it picks up and carries sediments, gradually depositing them as the energy of the water decreases. This continuous cycle of erosion, transportation, and deposition allows sediments to be transported downstream over time.
Sediments in sedimentary rock can be transported by wind, water, or glaciers
Sediments are deposited mainly due to the action of gravity, erosion, and transportation mechanisms such as water, wind, and glaciers. As these agents move sediment particles, they eventually settle in locations where the energy of the transporting agent decreases, like riverbeds, lake bottoms, or the ocean floor. Once the energy decreases sufficiently, the sediment particles are no longer kept in suspension and are deposited.
Frost heaving is the mass movement that occurs when sediments freeze and thaw. During freezing, water in the sediments expands as it turns to ice, pushing particles upwards. When the ice thaws, the sediments settle back down, causing the surface to move vertically over time.
Glaciers can carry sediments through a process called erosion, where they pick up rock fragments and soil as they move. When glaciers deposit these sediments in new locations, it is considered a deposition process, contributing to landform formation.
The rocks will gradually get smaller
As sediments move around, they can undergo processes like erosion, transportation, and deposition. The sediments may be weathered or broken down into smaller particles, carried by water, wind, or ice, and eventually settle and accumulate in new locations. Over time, these sediments can build up layers and form sedimentary rocks.
How do sediment move
Water, wind, gravity, and ice can all move sediments from one place to another.
Muscles contract and relax to move a joint.
The force that is responsible for moving sediments in a river is the current.
The process in which sediments move slowly downhill, is called creep. It is common where freezing and thawing occur. As ice expands in soil, it pushed sediments up. Then as soil thaws, the sediments move farther downslope. Over time, creep can move large amounts of sediment, possibly causing damage to some structures
temperatures starts to decrease in degrees and the days get shorter
erosion
The second image shows sediments in motion. The movement is likely caused by the flow of water or the force of gravity on the slope where the sediments are located.
they move faster, eventually changing the solid into a liquid
