What is deposition?
Another way to think of it

4. Factors that affect deposition:
Density- sediments that are more dense will sort out first and be left behind before sediments of less density

5. Factors that affect deposition:
Size- Sediments of larger size will sort out before sediments of smaller size if they are equally dense
