GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the Earth’s surface, erosion is the transportation or the movement of the weathered material and deposition is the dropping of off the weathered material.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deposition is the dropping of sediment by wind, water, ice, or gravity. Sediment is created through the process of weathering, carried away through the process of erosion, and then dropped in a new location through the process of deposition.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deposition is when pieces of the Earth are deposited somewhere else. It is important to remember that when weathering happens, tiny pieces of the Earth do not disappear. They are moved through erosion, and deposited somewhere else through deposition.

Detailed explanation-4: -The movement of sediments by wind, water, ice, or gravity is called erosion. Sediments are dropped in a new location. The process of dropping sediments in a new location is called deposition.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
