    - Several factors affect how sediment settles

    - Sediment is added to a new surface location

    Explanation:

    The deposition is essentially the process of settling of sediment on new surface location. This can happen in multiple different ways, caused by multiple different factors, which determine how is the sediment deposited. This process is adding new layers of sediment on top of preexisting layers of sediment, or rocks. In order for this process to occur, there are few processes that precede it and enable it to occur, staring with the weathering, then the erosion, transportation, and finally when the transporting medium loses its carrying power we have the deposition.
