The best sediment transporting agent is water. This is because water is very powerful and can easily move sediment from one place to another.
Wind is not a sediment transporting agent.
water
Air is not a sediment transporting agent. Sediment transporting agents typically involve water (such as rivers and oceans), ice (glaciers), or wind. Air can carry dust particles, but it does not transport larger sediment particles like water or ice.
Strata
Decrease in velocity of the transporting agent (wind, water, ice). Change in temperature causing a decrease in solubility of sediment. Lack of energy to keep sediment in suspension.

Strata
Once it is able to move, displace and change position of light materials and particles of matter it can carry... then, it is definitely an agent of sediment transportation.

Stratification as this is a term that describes the layering of rocks and so is not a term that is related to sediment transport (i.e. erosion) but is instead the result of deposition, compaction and cementation.
Agents for erosion and transporting sediments include gravity, wind, water (including currents), or ice. Other forces in nature do not act in the same way, for example, lava.
The exception is glaciers. Glaciers are not sediment transporting agents; they are instead agents of erosion that can carry sediment as they move across the landscape. Rivers, wind, and waves are all examples of sediment transporting agents.
No, deposition occurs when the agents of erosion, like water, wind, or ice, drop or deposit the sediment they have been carrying. This sediment is usually dropped in a new location where the energy of the transporting agent decreases, leading to the sediment being deposited.
Wind, water, glaciers, and gravity are capable or transporting sediment.
