Answer:

through friction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sediments rub together to become smoother. Sediments that are transported in a mass by water or stream are in motion with respect to the motion of the stream water. They bump into each other which makes extruding parts vulnerable to getting knocked off which makes these particles round.

Answer: Liquid water is the major agent of erosion on Earth. Rain, rivers, floods, lakes, and the ocean carry away bits of soil and sand and slowly wash away the sediment causing it to become more round and smooth.

I hope this helps!
