Rock or soil "transport".
Rock fragments that are transported and laid down in a new location are called sediments. Over time, these sediments may undergo compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rocks through a process called lithification. This is part of the rock cycle where rocks undergo different processes to transform from one type to another.
Gravel is made up of small, rounded fragments of rock. These rock fragments can be derived from a variety of sources and can vary in composition depending on the location where the gravel is found.
The movement of rock fragments is called erosion.
A sedimentary rock made up of rounded fragments of other rocks is called a conglomerate.
Rock fragments are called sediments and by a process called lithification they turn into sedimentary rocks. Lithification is made up by compaction and cementation which is by pressure and a natural glue that is formed from groundwater the sediments stick together and then harden into rock.
The movement of rock fragments is called erosion.
A clastic rock.
sedimentary
A sedimentary rock that forms when rock fragments are squeezed together is called a conglomerate. This rock is composed of rounded fragments that have been cemented together by a finer material, such as sand or mud.
Sedimentary rock composed of older fragments of rock is called a conglomerate. This type of rock forms when pebbles and small stones are cemented together.

It is known as weathering. Erosion is the carrying away to another location of the weathered grains of rock.
