Sediment is often deposited as the tide rises and falls. As the incoming and outgoing water crosses the beach or banks, sediments are deposited.

Process by which sediment settles out of the water or wind carrying it?
The process by which sediment settles out of the water or wind carrying it is called sedimentation. Sedimentation occurs when the velocity of the fluid (water or wind) decreases, allowing the sediment particles to fall out of suspension and accumulate on the surface below. This process is a natural part of erosion and deposition in the Earth's geologic cycle.
