What is the process by which sediment is transported and deposited by wind, water or ice?

The process by which sediment is transported and deposited by wind, water, or ice is called erosion and deposition. Erosion occurs when weathering and other natural processes break down rocks and soil into smaller particles. These particles are then transported by wind, water, or ice to new locations where they are deposited. This can happen through processes such as sedimentation, where sediment settles out of a moving fluid, or through the action of glaciers, which can carry large amounts of sediment as they move. Over time, these deposited sediments can build up to form new landforms such as beaches, deltas, and moraines.
