When sediments stop moving, the process is known as sediment deposition. This occurs when the energy of the transporting medium, such as water or wind, decreases, causing particles to settle out of suspension. Deposition can lead to the formation of various geological features, such as deltas, beaches, and sedimentary rock layers.
Erosion.
Moving water drops sediments it is carrying when its velocity slows down. This can happen when the water enters a wider channel, encounters obstacles like rocks or vegetation, or when the gradient of the river decreases, allowing sediments to settle out of suspension.

Sediments produced by plants and animals in the sea are called biogenic sediments. These sediments are composed of organic remains, such as shells, corals, and skeletal debris, which accumulate on the seafloor over time.
Erosion. More specifically in soils this is likely to be creep or solifluction. These are types of mass wasting.
Erosion.
sediments left behind by moving water or wind
if you were to continue moving the bottle for a long time what would happen to the large sediments?
The force that is responsible for moving sediments in a river is the current.
Erosion
By weathering rock and carrying it away to different places. That process is called erosion. Then it deposits the sediments and builds, which is called deposition.

Sediments.
Sediments directly deposited by the glacier are called till.
Fine sediments like silt and clay tend to stay suspended in moving water because the turbulence keeps them from settling. Coarser sediments like sand and gravel require calmer conditions to settle out of the water column.
terrigenous or continental sediments
A fast-moving water carries more sediments because it has more energy to erode and transport particles. Slow-moving water has less energy and is typically not able to carry as much sediment.
