What occurs when running water picks up a material from one place and leaves it at another?
Erosion
How can water cause erosion and deposition?
As water flows, it picks up particles of the ground and carries it along the stream of water. That is erosion. As water deposits into another body of water, for example the Mississippi river into the Gulf of Mexico, those particles of ground are deposited in that area. That is deposition.
Is wind erosion that picks up small particles and leaves heavier particles behind?
Deflation
What is the process of erosion and how is it related to weathering?
Weathering breaks up the substance, and erosion causes it to move.
What causes water erosion to happen?
If it is on rivers that are in highlands (up in the mountains and are usually narrow) it is gravity, so it erodes downwards. However, if it is in lowlands (in a valley or a flood plain, for example) it is usually the sheer force of water - in other words, the hydraulic action of water + sediments carried by water. Wind can also contribute to water erosion, as it causes waves and it accelerates the water speed.
What part does wind play in erosion?
Wind picks up sediment which causes erosion when it hits the rock.
What occurs when running water picks up a material from one place and leaves it at another?
Erosion
Why does water erosion happen?
Water erosion happens when moving water picks up sediments and wears away (or erodes) the bank of the water. It happens because water naturally wears away sediment
How water shape the earth?
Water shapes the earth by erosion. Erosion is when water loosens up the soil and causes it to become loose and separates from river banks and from the sides of mountains.

How does wind cause erosion?
The wind picks up tiny particles of sand and dirt and blows it into whatever it is eroding. That's why sometimes you see things that are only eroded to a certain height, because the wind can't lift the particles that high. Wind causes erosion by picking up small bits of gravel,sand, and small rocks and blows them onto a surface. Five agents of erosion are glaciers, moving water, water, wind and waves. Well, wind causes erosion by blowing sand, dirt, water on beaches, etc. When the wind blows on ( for example) sand, it pushes it, perhaps, downhill, and the sand is eroded away.
What process picks up particles called sandblast with wind and polishes them?
it is called wind erosion
Is wind erosion that picks up small particles and leaves heavier particles behind?
Deflation
What are some causes of beach erosion?
Winds and waves are the major contributors of beach erosion. Over building by people close to the shore causes erosion to speed up.

How does a bulldozer caoses erosion?
a bulldozer causes erosion when its picks up soil using it claw type thing it has on the front ( erosion) , and then takes it to the place where it wants to deposit it ( transportation) and then dumping it in that place ( deposition). here is where new plants can be planted and new houses can be made. if you are living in a developed country, you can constantly see bulldozers doing these three actions... hope it helped...:)
