Water, wind, gravity, and ice can all move sediments from one place to another.
erosion
As sediments move around, they can undergo processes like erosion, transportation, and deposition. The sediments may be weathered or broken down into smaller particles, carried by water, wind, or ice, and eventually settle and accumulate in new locations. Over time, these sediments can build up layers and form sedimentary rocks.
Marine sediments are typically classified into four main classes: terrigenous, biogenous, hydrogenous, and cosmogenous. Terrigenous sediments originate from land, consisting of eroded rocks and soil transported by rivers and wind. Biogenous sediments are derived from biological materials, primarily the remains of marine organisms like foraminifera and diatoms. Hydrogenous sediments form directly from the precipitation of minerals from seawater, while cosmogenous sediments come from extraterrestrial sources, such as meteorites.
sediments, rocks, till, debris, and soil
Sediments have been transported over time through various natural processes such as erosion, weathering, and transportation by wind, water, glaciers, or gravity. These processes can move sediments from one location to another, shaping landscapes and depositing sediments in different environments. Eventually, these sediments can be compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
How do sediment move
The force that is responsible for moving sediments in a river is the current.

The process in which sediments move slowly downhill, is called creep. It is common where freezing and thawing occur. As ice expands in soil, it pushed sediments up. Then as soil thaws, the sediments move farther downslope. Over time, creep can move large amounts of sediment, possibly causing damage to some structures
The rocks will gradually get smaller
erosion
The second image shows sediments in motion. The movement is likely caused by the flow of water or the force of gravity on the slope where the sediments are located.

Sediments
Sediments move downstream through processes like erosion, transportation, and deposition by the force of water, wind, or ice. As water flows, it picks up and carries sediments, gradually depositing them as the energy of the water decreases. This continuous cycle of erosion, transportation, and deposition allows sediments to be transported downstream over time.
