due to weathering forces that have freed materials for movement.
* Deposition: The material settles on a horizontal plane either through chemical or physical precipitation.

Note: The secondary processes of compaction, cementation, and lithification help to hold a stratified bed in place.

Origins

Sedimentary graded bedding

In aeolian or fluid depositional environments, where there is a decrease in transport energy over time, the bedding material is sorted more
