Drag and Drop

- is a process that squeezes or compacts sediments together

- takes place when dissolved minerals are deposited in the tiny spaces among the sediments

- Any process that break rocks into sediments

- The removal of weathered rocks

- when an agent of erosion (water, wind, ice, or gravity) loses energy, it drops the sediment
