What effects can weathering and erosion have on the water supply?
Weathering and erosion (which are synonyms) can cause minerals to leach into the water supply - for example, erosion of a rock which contains bauxite will cause aluminum to be present in the downstream water.
What forces cause erosion and deposition?
Primarily a combination of Gravity, solar energy in the form of wind or waves, and tectonic forces Erosion is the movement of sediment and deposition is when that sediment gets placed somewhere else. Water falls to the Earth in the water cycle, and gravity pulls the water (or ice) down hill, carrying sediment with it (erosion). As the speed of the water slows as the slope decreases, the larger and larger pieces of sediment are settled out of the water by the force of gravity, becoming deposited someplace else. If there is no water present, sediment can be transported by any other fluid as well, usually air in the form of wind. As the wind slows, gravity is again the main factor in deposition. Tectonic forces also cause events such as lava flows, mass wasting etc.
What are four different type of weathering that can happen without the present of water?
physical weathering chemical weathering mental weathering i don't know the other one
What is the present tense for erosion?
erose
Why can weathering can only. Occur on the surface of the earth?
Weathering can only occur on the surface of the earth because the weather is only present on the surface of the earth. The surface of the earth refers to any exposed area.

Why is the Grand Canyon still changing today?
Because in a natural environment weathering and erosion will always be present.
What principles account for earths history?
The main principle linked to the palaeoenvironment of the Earth (ie the Earths past) is called the principle of uniformitarianism: "The present is the key to the past" This means that all processes which occur on Earth at the present day, ie erosion, transportation, deposition, weathering, metamorphism etc. also occured at any point in the Earth's history in exactly the same way. Hope this helps :)

A sentence with deposition?
Mary could not be present at the court hearing so her attorney read her deposition concerning the crime in her stead.
How are sediments joined up to form rocks?
Sediments produced from weathering and erosion are deposited in still environments, compacted by the weight of additional sediments and cemented by minerals that are present in the water that is being squeezed out between sediment particles.
How do physical weathering and chemical weathering affect erosion?
First of all, erosion and weathering are NOT the same thing. Weathering occurs with no movement, and thus should not be confused with erosion. Erosion involves the movement of rocks and minerals by water, ice, wind, and gravity.Physical (or mechanical) weathering is the breakdown of rocks and soils through direct (physical!) contact with atmospheric conditions- pressure, heat, water, and ice.Chemical weathering changes the chemical composition of rocks through water interacting with certain minerals in rocks, transforming the rocks with chemical reactions. This weathering can also be created by acid rain. Acid rain occurs when gases such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide are present in the atmosphere. These react in rain water to create even stronger acids. Sulfur dioxide can become sulfuric acid within rainwater, which can cause solution weathering to any rocks the (now acidic) rain falls on. Have you ever seen statues or rocks that look like something tried to eat them? Actually, it's acid rain that's been eating away at the stone. If acid rain can get into streams, lakes, and rivers, it will kill any fish or plants that live in that water.
What is the importance of water to chemical weathering?
in chemical the minerals present in the rock dissolve in water causing chemical weathering
What must be present for to erosion to occur?
a transporting agent, such as water must be present
