What is the carrying of sediment from another place?

The transportation of sediment from one place to another is known as sediment transport. It usually occurs through processes such as erosion, weathering, or the movement of water, wind, or ice. Sediment transport plays a crucial role in shaping landscapes and the formation of landforms.


What are three forces that can carry sediment?

Wind, water, and gravity, ice (i.e Glaciers with rocks frozen in them.) -Wind- Picks up sediment and blows it to another place - Water, Carries sediment with... flowing water - Gravity- Making sediments fall down (I.e landslides) - Ice - Rocks with ice in them. (i.e Glaciers with rocks frozen in them.) Falls off when thawed.


Is the dropping of sediment that has been moved from one place to another?

Deposition is the dropping of sediment by wind, water, ice, or gravity. Sediment is created through the process of weathering, carried away through the process of erosion, and then dropped in a new location through the process of deposition. ANSWER: Deposition


What is the movement of sediment from one place to another by wind water waves gravity or glaciers?

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.


What are three forces that carry sediment?

There are actually more than three forces that carry sediment but there is only three main forces. Wind, water, and gravity. But there is also glacial movement ect. If you want the other forces I would go look it up on google. Hope this answers your questions! :)

What are some forces that causes erosion and carry sediment from one place to another?

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.


What moves sediment from place to place?

Erosion moves sediment from one place to another


Explain how sediment of different sizes moves during wind erosion?

Sediment of smaller mass is easier for the power of wind to overcome the power of gravity in moving it from one place to another. Most sediment moved by wind that is tiny as sand.

It is called erosion.


How does sediment pile up on the ocean floor?

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.
