The process by which material is dropped or settles is called deposition. The deposition of rock fragments leads to the formation of sedimentary rocks through the process of lithification.

The dropping off of bits of eroded rocks is called?
It's called deposition.
The process by which eroded earth materials settle out in another place?
Sediment
Eroded materials carried by wind or water are called?
They are called sediments.
What are two different things that move eroded materials?
Water & Wind
Eroded earth materials that have been deposited?
They are known as sediments, and examples includes, levees and Moraines.
The dropping off of bits of eroded rocks is called?
It's called deposition.
What causes the process of dropping eroded materials?
Deposition is caused by:A change in the energy in a river (e.g. on a meander)Glacial ablation (at the snout or bottom)Change in temperature (in a sea or lake, or potentially even in an ocean)
The eroded materials carried by water or wind are called?
Sediment
Where is the Niagara falls eroded materials going?
Eventually to the ocean
What happens to earth materials that have been eroded by the river?
Eroded materials are broken down into fine grains and are either eventually packed into sedimentary rocks over a long period of time, piled on to other eroded materials to creat a solid surface, or even launched into the ocean to make it more shallow. Fun fact: Millions of years from now, eroded materials from minerals will eventually fill up the major oceans creating a gigantic landmass.
What are two different things that move eroded materials?
Water & Wind
The process by which eroded earth materials settle out in another place?
Sediment
Eroded materials carried by wind or water are called?
They are called sediments.
Inexpensive method to separate undissolved materials in a liquid?
settling
Is the placing of materials called erosion?
No, the placing of eroded materials is known as deposition (depositing of the water born material downstream).
Which is the best definition of deposition The transportation of sediments to another place The dropping off of eroded sediment or The swelling of earth materials as it soaks up water?
I don't know what you mean, but I hope this helps: Deposition is the putting down of a load. In geological terms, by a glacier, river, or wind mainly.
Eroded earth materials that have been deposited?
They are known as sediments, and examples includes, levees and Moraines.
