Dude, erosion REMOVES sediment. It doesn't deposite sediment. The layers of sediment in the Grand Canyon were there BEFORE the water carved through them.

Can you get your babysitter to help you with this?

Hey Nutrider, yes erosion does remove soil from one place, but then it also puts it someplace else, which is depositing. The fact that it is going from one place and then being put down SOMEPLACE ELSE is an example of depositing. Yes, gravity is involved; it moves the water downhill; the water pulls some dirt with it and puts it someplace else, which is referred to as sediment depositing. Here are links that prove that the word DEPOSITING' means to put something from one place to another and is in proper reference to soil erosion:

What grade did you drop out of????

The American Heritage Science Dictionary
erosion The gradual wearing away of land surface materials, especially rocks, sediments, and soils, by the action of water, wind, or a glacier. Usually erosion also involves the transport of eroded material from one place to another, as from the top of a mountain to an adjacent valley, or from the upstream portion of a river to the downstream portion. Erosion is a form of Weathering... Geology. alluvial matter transferred and deposited by flowing water. If you're talking Geologically, erosion includes the transportation and depositation of material by water... Or in other words... you've been pwnd.

In case you come back nutrider:

Deserts erode, their sand is lifted and moved to other locations, making it to rivers and oceans and piling against mountains. Limestone, chalk, salt and sandstone exposed to the sun and wind becomes airborn, fine material is continually moved around until it encounters water.

Also, unless under continual rapid flow (most rapid flows are seasonal) much sediment is locked into river and lake beds from being mixed together and packed.

Where the hell do you think fine materials the water can carry come from?

The Grand Canyon floods and heavy currents not only wore away at the softer material they left the harder or carved out paths that carried and the later lighter flows.

If your arguement is that the Grand Canyon was full of sediment that filled it in until your stupid flood story, explain how that sediment got there. Where'd a mile deep of sediment come from before your retarded flood story?

Honestly, stick with your Childrens Illustrated Bible and stay away from trying to explain erosion or hydrolic forces, you haven't a clue.

Sediment is eroded material piled up due to natural causes,
