Answer:

Wind, water and glacier

Step-by-step explanation:

The movement of sediments from one place to another is caused by wind, water and glacier.

This movement of sediments is called Transportation and follows the process of erosion.

  • Most times transportation and erosion occurs together
  • Wind can blow eroded materials from rock remains from one place to another. This is more predominant in arid and desert regions of the world.
  • Water can also carry sediments by fluid motion.
  • Glaciers are also very effective transportation agents.
