The transportation of sediment is called sediment transport. This process involves the movement of solid particles, such as sand, silt, and clay, from one location to another by various agents like water, wind, or ice. Sediment transport plays a crucial role in shaping landscapes, forming riverbanks, and creating deltas and beaches. It occurs through mechanisms such as erosion, suspension, and deposition.
The process of placing sediment in a new place is called sediment deposition. This can occur through various natural processes such as erosion, transportation, and deposition by wind, water, or ice. Human activities like construction and dredging can also lead to sediment deposition in new locations.
Particles that settle from water are called sediment.
Wind transported sediment is known as "aeolian sediment."
This is called cementation.
When all the particles in a sediment are about the same size, the sediment is said to be well-sorted. This typically indicates that the sediment has been through a sorting process, such as transportation by water or wind, that has separated particles by size. Well-sorted sediments often have better porosity and permeability properties.
It's called transportation.
No, erosion loss of sediment , transportation is the process by which that sediment is removed.
The process of placing sediment in a new place is called sediment deposition. This can occur through various natural processes such as erosion, transportation, and deposition by wind, water, or ice.

Transportation, (Erosion).
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.
The material that is moved by erosion is called Sediment.
Sediment
The answer to that question is loess
Its deposits sediment by picking the sediment up which is called plucking.(weathering)
Wind transported sediment is known as "aeolian sediment."
Particles that settle from water are called sediment.
No, the solids the water carries is the sediment.
