How many ways can a rock or sediments move to new areas?

Rocks and sediments can move to new areas through several processes, primarily erosion, transportation, and deposition. Erosion occurs when wind, water, or ice wear away materials, while transportation involves the movement of these materials by rivers, glaciers, or wind. Finally, deposition happens when the transporting medium loses energy, causing the sediments to settle in new locations. Together, these processes enable rocks and sediments to be relocated over time.
