Sediment is solid material that is moved and deposited in a new location. ... Sediment moves from one place to another through the process of erosion. Erosion is the removal and transportation of rock or soil. Erosion can move sediment through water, ice, or wind.

Your answer would be erosion.


Erosion means to "move" sediments through wind, water, etc.

Weathering means to break down something.

Decomposition means to decay.
