Sediment dropped by water, ice, gravity, and wind refers to the materials transported and deposited by these natural forces. Water can carry sediments through rivers and streams, depositing them in deltas and floodplains. Ice, particularly in glaciers, can erode and carry sediments, releasing them as the ice melts. Wind transports fine particles, which can settle in different landscapes, creating features like dunes or loess deposits.
