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

Answer:

Erosion and Deposition

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.
