Answer:

Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.
