Sediments are naturally occurring products of erosion that are deposited in another location by the action of wind, water, ice, or gravity.
Explanation:
Sediments are as varied as erosion products of rocks and minerals to pieces of plants and animals. They can be tiny, suspended, or huge - as long as they can be moved by some force.
The movement of sediments usually occurs through the agency of wind, water, or ice. Gravity is also an agent, as in a boulder or rocks falling during a landslide, or down a waterfall or cataract as the river bed erodes.
