Gravity.
Sediment can be carried by water, wind, ice, and gravity. Water is the most common medium for transporting sediment, with wind being the next most common. Ice can transport sediment when it freezes into glaciers or ice sheets, and gravity can cause sediment to move downhill in the form of landslides or rockfalls.
Eroded materials carried by wind or water are called sediment.
Wind removes sand and other sediment from the ground of deserts, beaches, and arid regions, where the force of wind can easily pick up and transport loose particles.
Rain falls in a slant because of the wind. When raindrops are carried by the wind, they can be pushed at an angle as they fall to the ground. Gravity also plays a role in the trajectory of the raindrop, causing it to fall at an angle rather than straight down.
The term for soil that settles in water is sediment. Sediment is the material that is carried and deposited by water, wind, or glaciers.
Wind carried sediment falls to the ground when the wind speed decreases below its carrying capacity, or when obstacles such as trees or buildings disrupt the wind flow and cause the sediment to settle. Additionally, precipitation events can also cause airborne sediment particles to fall to the ground.
Wind-carried sediment falls to the ground when wind slows down or some obstacle, such as a boulder or clump of grass, traps the windblown sand and other sediment. When it comes into contact with any obstacle.
When the wind stops blowing.
Bamboo seeds are typically dispersed by wind or animals. When the seeds are ready for dispersal, they fall to the ground and are carried by the wind or animals that eat them and then deposit them elsewhere through their droppings.
