Erosion is the moving of something, weathering is the breeaking down, and depositon is depositing some particles or minerals to some area such as a delta.

The difference between weathering and erosion is very simple. Weathering can be caused by both chemical and mechanical. Mechanical Weathering is when rocks are broken into smaller pieces WITHOUT changing them chemically. While Chemical Weathering occurs when the chemical composition of rock changes. This happens rapidly and mostly in tropical areas. Erosion is when water, gravity, ice or wind breaks down pieces of sediment into smaller, smaller pieces. This is natural. Deposition is exactly what the previous answer said. Examples MAY include a river depositing pollution, Oil, sediment, water, fresh water into the ocean.
