- In order for sediment to form, erosion takes place. Erosion is the process that wears down and carries away rock and soil.
- Sediments is matter that settles to the bottom of a liquid.
- Mechanical weathering is the process of physically breaking rock into smaller fragments. Mechanical weathering occur through frost wedging, abrasion, and growth of plant roots.
- Frost wedging occurs when water freezes to form ice and the water expands. It is important cause of weathering in mountains, where water often freezes at night and melts during the day.
- Abrasion, the process of scrapingor wearing away, is a form of mechanical weathering that occurs when rocks scrape againstone another.
- Overall weathering, wearing away or changing the appearance or texture by long exposure to the air, is the main cause of sediment forming on a mountain top
