Detailed explanation-1: -Deposition is a process in which matter, usually particles of sediment, rocks, or soil, is added to a surface. The particles are often deposited from a fluid, as they leave their suspension and settle on the surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or landmass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deposition is the laying down of sediment carried by wind, flowing water, the sea or ice. Sediment can be transported as pebbles, sand and mud, or as salts dissolved in water. Salts may later be deposited by organic activity (e.g. as sea shells) or by evaporation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at Earth’s surface, followed by cementation. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle in place.

Detailed explanation-5: -Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.
