errosion
Water or wind carrying sediment slows down, causing the force of gravity to overcome the force of the water or wind, resulting in the sediment dropping and settling to the ground or surface. This process is known as sedimentation and occurs when the velocity of the water or wind decreases, leading to the deposition of the sediment.
Water, ice, wind, and gravity are common agents that transport eroded rock pieces. Water from rivers, glaciers, or ocean currents can carry sediment downstream. Ice can transport sediment through glaciers. Wind can move sediment over long distances. Gravity can cause sediment to move downhill.
Mostly By water from river.... than Air, Glaciers etc.
Probably the heaviest

Wind, water, glaciers, and gravity are capable or transporting sediment.
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.
Sediment can be moved by various agents such as wind, water, ice, and gravity. Wind can transport sediment particles in the air, water can carry sediment along in rivers and oceans, ice can transport sediment in glaciers, and gravity can cause sediment to move downslope in the form of landslides or rockfalls.
Wind, water, ice, and gravity are the main forces that carry sediment. Wind can transport fine particles over long distances, while water can move sediment through rivers, streams, and ocean currents. Ice can transport sediment when it freezes into glaciers, and gravity can cause landslides and rockfall to move sediment downhill.
Water or wind carrying sediment slows down, causing the force of gravity to overcome the force of the water or wind, resulting in the sediment dropping and settling to the ground or surface. This process is known as sedimentation and occurs when the velocity of the water or wind decreases, leading to the deposition of the sediment.
The process is called deposition, where sediments are deposited or laid down by agents such as wind, water, ice, or gravity. This typically occurs when the energy of the transporting medium decreases, causing the sediment particles to settle out and accumulate in a new location.
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.
The deposition of sediment.
The dropping of sediment by gravity is called deposition. It occurs when the energy of moving water or wind decreases, causing sediment particles to settle and accumulate on the Earth's surface.
Water, ice, wind, and gravity are common agents that transport eroded rock pieces. Water from rivers, glaciers, or ocean currents can carry sediment downstream. Ice can transport sediment through glaciers. Wind can move sediment over long distances. Gravity can cause sediment to move downhill.
The movement of sediment by wind is called aeolian transport, by water is called fluvial transport, and by gravity is called mass wasting or sediment gravity flow. Each process plays a significant role in shaping landforms and transporting sediment across different environments.
