Mostly By water from river.... than Air, Glaciers etc.
Erosion transports sediments from the original source through processes like wind, water, or ice. As the sediments are eroded, they are carried away and eventually deposited in a new location, forming sedimentary deposits.
Sand is gradually carried down the beach by Longshore Drift.
This process is called erosion. Erosion occurs when running water, like a river, picks up and carries away rock particles, eventually depositing them in another location.
Sediments- Sediments are lose minerals such as rock fragments, mineral grains, and bits of a shell that has been moved by ice, wind, water and gravity.Sedimentary rock- Is a rock formed my sediments deposited into layers and being pressurized over time.
Lithogenous sediments come from the land They result primarily from erosion by water, wind, and ice Biogenous sediments originate from organisms The particles in these sediments come from shells and hard skeletons. Although lithogenous sediments represent the largest total volume, biogenous sediments cover a greater area of sea floor
Sediments will settle in a horizontal layer. Sediments or sedimentary rock which appears otherwise has been moved by Earth forces.

As glaciers moved and shifted they picked up rocks and sediments moving the mto new places.

No, but there are fossils in the Himalayas. The mountains of the Himalayas are partly formed from the sediments laid down at the bottom of an ocean. When India was moved into collision with Asia some of the intervening sediments were squeezed between the two and pushed onto the continent.
weathering and erosionWeathering is the process by which rocks are broken apart into sediments. Weathering can be either physical or chemical. Erosion is the process by which those sediments are moved to different areas. Erosion can be powered by wind, water, or ice in the form of glaciers.

The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.
When rocks and sediments are moved, erosion occurs, resulting in the formation of landforms such as hills, valleys, canyons, and deltas. Sediments can also accumulate to form new landforms like beaches and sand dunes.
