What is it called when erosion stops and transported sediment settles on a surface?
It is called deposition.
What is unconformities?
unconformity (plural unconformities)(nonstandard) A lack of conformity.(geology) A gap in time in rock strata, where erosion occurs while deposition slows or stops.
How are the process of weathering erosion and doposition related?
Weathering occurs when rocks are broken down into smaller particles but not moved When natural forces begin to move weathered particles, called sediments, we say that they are being eroded, or undergoing erosion. Most of earth's erosion is done by flowing water in streams which carry tons of sediment to the oceans each day Deposition occurs when movement slows or stops and suspended sediments are dropped.
How does a cliff change over time?
A cliff can change over time by the process of erosion. This process erodes parts of the cliff away slowly and then, when erosion stops taking place to the cliff, the cliff stops changing.
What helps stabilize soil from erosion?
plants such as grass, trees, and clovers have roots that grips on to the soil and stops it from moving when it rains. that is why you see grass on farmlands when not in use.

How does wind cause erosion and deposition?
when the wind stops , its getting weaker and weaker because its slowing down and doesn't have as much energy when its blowing , so eventually drops everything.
What is erotion?
The thing that gets dug away from the sea or the rain. lol i thought u said erection first
What happens to the sediments when the wind stops blowing or water stops moving?
deposition
What stops erosion?
Plantation of trees, vegetables stops soil erosion as the roots of the trees or vegetables hold onto the top soil and do not let it erode.
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.
How does a cliff change over time?
A cliff can change over time by the process of erosion. This process erodes parts of the cliff away slowly and then, when erosion stops taking place to the cliff, the cliff stops changing.
When was Stops Here created?
Stops Here was created in 1997.
When was After the Music Stops created?
After the Music Stops was created in 2006.
Does water cause erosion and deposition?
Yes, because if it rains it weathers away the ground and then it washes away a little then it deposits the ground. Maybe it was a river and the river is carrying the river bed little by little then when it washes down stream it stops or keeps going until it flows in to a bigger body of water.
