What is the diffrence between erosion and deposition?
Erosion is the process of rock or soil being washed away by wind or water. In this process the particles are carried from the parent rock and when the force of wind or water drops , the particles of sand or dust drop to the surface leaving deposition. Wind erosion is called aeolian erosion. As the particles are blown or washed along, they bounce in steady patterns along the ground, so when the wind drops they are deposited in patterns, hence the patterns of ripples on desert sand and at the bottom of the sea, this bouncing is called saltation.
