Made of loose sands, shells and pebbles drifted to the bottom of the seas.
A sediment deposit called a windward slope forms when sediment is blown against an obstacle and settles behind it. This deposit is characterized by a gradual slope facing into the prevailing wind direction.
The resulting deposit is called loess.
A delta is a deposit of soil that collects at the mouth of rivers. Deltas form when sediment-rich water flows into slower-moving or standing water, causing the sediment to settle and accumulate over time. Deltas are typically shaped like a triangle or fan, with multiple distributaries carrying sediment into the receiving body of water.
When flood waters deposit sediment, they can create a landform called a floodplain. Floodplains are flat, low-lying areas of land adjacent to rivers or streams that are prone to flooding. Over time, repeated flooding can build up layers of sediment, enriching the soil and creating fertile farmland.
Water can transport sediment by erosion and deposition. It can increase erosion by carrying sediment downstream, or deposit sediment in a new location when the water slows down. Water can also dissolve minerals in sediment, affecting its composition and structure.
Doesa glacier deposit sediment whenit freezes
Its deposits sediment by picking the sediment up which is called plucking.(weathering)
When the wind starts to slow down it starts to deposit sand or other sediment.

Sediment.
in a delta
When a glacier melts it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land, creating various landforms.
an older river deposits more sediment.
When it melts.
When their velocity decreases
they wash in the sand at the ocean floor that is then called "deposit" I THINK
silt This trianguar deposit of sediment where a river empties into an ocean is called a delta.
