    This document discusses various sedimentary processes including: 1. Aqueous gravitational processes where sediment is deposited through the force of gravity in water and glacial processes where several deposit types are associated with glaciation. 2. Sediment transportation and deposition from traction currents and high-density turbidity currents which involve sediment moving in water. 3. Eolian processes where wind transports sediment in deserts, around ice caps, and in seasonal climates through traction carpets.

    often seasonal and ice bound.
