Question

which statement explains what happens to sediment during deposition? it is transported to a different location. it is released from a transporting medium. it settles down beneath existing sediment. it breaks down into finer sediment particles.

Explanation:

Deposition is the geological process where sediment that was being carried by a medium like water, wind, or ice is dropped or released. Transport refers to movement to a new location, settling under existing sediment is part of lithification/compaction, and breaking into finer particles is weathering/erosion.

It is released from a transporting medium.
