Answer:

Deposition in Water

Step-by-step explanation:

After rivers erode rock and soil, they deposit (drop) their load downstream. This process is known as deposition. Rocks and soils deposited by streams are known as "sediments". Rivers and streams deposit sediment where the speed of the water current decreases.
