4.3.1 Clastic Sedimentary Rocks. Weathering and erosion occur normally in areas that are at high elevation, such as mountains, while deposition occurs in lower areas such as valleys, lakes, or the ocean. The sediment is transported from the area of erosion (e.g. the "source") to area of deposition (e.g. the "sink") by ice, water, or air.
