Erosion, specifically transportation.
The process of carrying rock fragments to a new location is called erosion. This can happen through various agents like water, wind, ice, or gravity, and it often results in the transportation of sediment from one place to another.
Erosion
Erosion is the process in which sediment moves from one location to another.Do not get this confused with deposition, which is the process in which sediment is dropped (deposited) in a new location.
Water erosion begins when rainfall flows over the land carrying sediment with it. This type of erosion is known as sheet erosion.
A glacier deposits the sediment it is carrying away when it reaches the end of its flow path, where the melting ice releases the sediments it was transporting. This process forms various landforms such as moraines, outwash plains, and glacial till.
Erosion moves sediment from one place to another

When a glacier melts it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land, creating various landforms.
Wind, water, and ice are common forces that cause erosion and transport sediment from one place to another. These forces can wear away rock and soil through processes like abrasion, and can carry the sediment in the form of sediment loads or suspended particles to new locations.
It is called erosion.

Erosion
The carrying capacity of a stream refers to its ability to transport sediment. Higher discharge and velocity typically increase a stream's carrying capacity as they provide more energy to move sediment. However, if the stream's carrying capacity surpasses its available sediment, deposition can occur.
When it melts.
deposition. This is because the sand is the sediment and the word deposition means transferring minerals from one place to another. This is how the sediment piles up.
