Detailed explanation-1: -A similar process, weathering, breaks down or dissolves rock, but does not involve movement. Erosion is the opposite of deposition, the geological process in which earthen materials are deposited, or built up, on a landform. Most erosion is performed by liquid water, wind, or ice (usually in the form of a glacier).
Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: The main agents of erosion and deposition are winds, running water, glaciers and sea waves. Volcanoes are not an agent of erosion and deposition.
Detailed explanation-3: -The wearing away of the earths surface is called erosion. The surface is being lowered by the process of erosion. And the surface is rebuilt by the process of deposition which means the accumulation of materials that are carried by slopes and streams.
