* Riverbeds and floodplains: Rivers carry sediment and deposit it along their banks and in their beds.

* Lakes: Lakes are often calm and allow fine-grained sediment to settle at the bottom.

* Oceans: The ocean floor receives sediment from rivers, wind, and marine organisms.

* Deserts: Wind can carry and deposit sand, forming sand dunes and other sedimentary structures.

* Swamps and marshes: These environments are rich in organic matter, which can become coal over time.

Essentially, anywhere where there is a source of sediment and a place for it to settle and accumulate.
