deposits Explanation: Erosion factors such as wind and running water carry sediment particles varying distances at varying rates, depending on the particle size and density. Coarse, dense material (detritus) is usually deposited first, while the finer, lighter material (drift) is deposited further from the source. Since the sediments described include clay and dust particles as well as dense material, I would use the broader term "deposits". |
