Rocco Glover · Answer 1

density of the sediment

size of the sediment

velocity of the agent of erosion

Explanation:

Deposition can be defined as the process of building up of sediment from chemical processes because the forces which are responsible for transporting Sediment are no longer sufficient enough to overcome the forces of gravity which is why density of the sediment, size of the sediment as well as velocity of the agent of erosion tend to affect

The rate of deposition due to the fact that

Larger and denser particles are heavier and land first before, less dense particles which cause round pieces of sediment settle more quickly than flat pieces.

Hence, density of the sediment, size of the sediment as well as velocity of the agent of erosion will often affect the rate deposition.
