Ponds filling up with sediment and becoming marshes
A
Weathering
B
Erosion
C
Deposition
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ponds filling up with sediment and becoming marshes. the process by which natural forces (water, ice, wind, or gravity) moves weathered rock and soil. a mass of rocks and sediment carried down and deposited by a glacier, typically as ridges at its edges or extremity.

Detailed explanation-2: -deposition. ponds filling up with sediment and becoming marshes. weathering. water getting into cracks, freezing, and breaking the rocks or pavement apart. weathering.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example weathering is the breaking down of rocks and minerals, erosion is the movement the weathered material and deposition is the dropping off of the eroded material. River erosion happens when the river flows over the land. The material in the river (sand, boulders, silt) is the one that contributes to erosion.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. When wind and water slow down, they drop the sediments they are carrying.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are three kinds of sea floor sediment: terrigenous, pelagic, and hydrogenous.

Detailed explanation-6: -Landslides are actually a very extreme, fast-acting method of erosion: They transfer sediment down a slope and deposit it at the end of their path. The sediment a landslide deposits is known as its talus. The five agents of erosion are wind, waves, running water, glaciers and gravity.
