Unconsolidated means loose if consider rocks

The volume of voids in rock or unconsolidated material is known as porosity. It represents the percentage of open spaces within the material where fluids can reside. Porosity is important in determining the material's ability to store and transmit fluids like water or oil.
The volume of voids or open space in a rock or unconsolidated material is called porosity. It is a measure of the amount of empty space within the material. Porosity is expressed as a percentage and can vary based on factors such as grain size, sorting, and cementation.
The great heaps of unconsolidated sediment at the base of the continental slope are known as submarine fans. These fans are typically formed by the deposition of sediment transported by turbidity currents that flow down the continental slope. Submarine fans are important features in understanding sediment transport processes in deep-sea environments.

When sediment is laid down, this is known as deposition. The sediment is unconsolidated and so it is not (yet) a rock.
the gradual removal of bed rock is what it comes form these are big sink holes
