'''Sediment''' is a deposit of [[sand]] and other [[mineral]] fragments, usually laid down by water.<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With Physical Science''. Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 1999, 2000</ref>

'''Sediment''' is eroded material deposited on the Earth by water, ice, or air.<ref>Stanley, Dr. Steven M. ''Earth System History 2nd Edition''. W.H. Freeman and Company, New York, 2005.</ref> Sediments are found in a wider variety of settings: from desert dunes, river deltas, mountain ranges, and even the deep sea floor<ref>ibid</ref>. After enough grains have accumulated in the depositional environment, one of two different processes may occur and cause the formation of [Sedimentary Rock]. Either compressional forces will bond the sediment grains together, or other minerals may bond the grains together by precipitating between them from water sources flowing through the sedimentary environment.
