Briefly describe the five major process involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks?
Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction, & Cementation.
What are the major processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks?
There are various processes that are involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks. This starts from weathering to deposition then erosion and finally there is lithification and compaction.
Describe the two major processes by which a river changes the land?
Deposition and erosion are two major processes by which a river changes the land. Erosion is the combination of weathering and deposition in which the water loosens and moves the land to another place.
What are the major agents causes of erosion and deposition?
Wave action,Moving ice,and running water
What battle involved the first major amphibious landing of American forces?
Veracruz
5 erosion and deposition agents?
The agents of erosion are wind, water, ice, and gravity.
What processes are involved with the formation of a sedimentary rock?
The two major processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rock include deposition (in which sedimentary material is deposited in an area) and cementation (in which that material becomes glued together overtime).
The major cause of weathering and erosion is?
Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.
What is a major erosional force because of things like farming?
Major erosional forces would be wind and water. Terraced farming reduces the effects of erosion due to water. Planting or leaving trees to form wind breaks aids in combatting erosion due to wind.

How does wind work as an agent of erosion as well as an agent of deposition?
Erosion is defined as the movement of material from one place to another place. Wind, although the weakest agent of erosion, is still able to move sand, silt, and clay particles without too much effort; with increased speed, wind is capable of knocking down buildings. When the wind that is carrying material loses velocity, it reaches a point where it can no longer overcome the force of gravity, and the material stops its movement. If the material no longer moves, it has been deposited. Even in this scenario, the major agent of deposition is gravity.
