GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away. Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
