Answer:

The factors that affect the rate of deposition are: density of the sediment, size of the sediment and velocity of the agent of erosion. The texture and color of the sediment don't affect the rate of deposition.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sedimentation is the deposit of transported materials. Deposition is about sediment accumulation, where the particles are added to a land mass. In a sediment, the particles can be defined according to their density, size and shape, which allows to define, with a certain degree of uncertainty, their rate of deposition (which is the deposition velocity) and erosion and transport processes. As a general rule, the particles more rounded, smaller and less dense are transported more easily, but the heavier particles and denser land first. When the fine sediments are added, the sedimentation rate is accelerated. Erosion is the wear of the rocks by external agents, these terms of erosion and deposition depend on a critical velocity of erosion and deposition, respectively, if the friction rate falls below the critical deposition value, the phenomenon that occurs it is the deposition.
