Sediment traps on land, however, are relatively short-lived. A pond, for example, in which sediment is continuously being deposited and not being removed will eventually become filled with sediment. So, inevitably, most sediment
moves on until it is finally deposited into a large body of water such as a very large lake or the ocean itself.
A large depressed area in which a lot of sediment has been or is being deposited is called a sedimentary basin.
Figure 3.3 shows where the main sedimentary basins are located in Canada.
