Question

Breaks rock and soil down into sediment (smaller rocks, sand grains, and smaller grains). _______ transports this sediment to other places, where it is _______ , usually in layers.

Answer 1

Winds,flowing water,gravity transport sediment from broken rocks and soil down to other places where it is deposited usually in layers.Soil down and rocks are broken through the chemical ,physical and biological methods.Over time sediment accumulate in lo lying regions that is the sedimentary basin.

Answer 2

Erosion and Deposition

Step-by-step explanation:

When rocks are weathered, it gets broken down into smaller sediments like sand grains and smaller rock particles. These weathered materials are eroded from one place to another with the help of agents such as wind, water, and ice. This process is called erosion and during this process, it forms various erosional features at different places. For example, the caves are formed due to erosion by the groundwater.

These eroded particles are then deposited at another place after transportation. This deposition of sediments gives rise to the formation of layered rocks along with various depositional features. For example, the glacial moraines are formed by the glaciers.
