| deposition | process by which sediments are dropped or left in a new location |
| colloid(clay) | very small sediments that remain suspended in water for long periods of time |
| sorting of sediments | separating sediments by size, shape or density |
| graded bedding | layers of sediments that show vertical sorting |
| horizontal sorting | separating of sediments by size, shape and density decreasing in the direction the erosional system was moving |
| vertical sorting | sorting by size, shape or density where the roundest, densest, largest sediments are on the bottom |
| sediment | any piece of weathered rock |
| Cross bedding | sorted deposits left by wind that are not formed horizontally and parallel to each other |
