What is found at the base of the cliff after it has been eroded and what collects here with the waves and rain?
Well sediment collects at the bases of cliffs that have been eroded. This is not to be confused with weathering which removes part of a surface but leaves no sediment. At the base of the cliff could be a weaker point of the cliff because of erosion.
What is the longest part of the rock cycle?
Weathering and erosion is the longest part.
What is sandbar part of erosion or deposition?
neither
Why does a stream discharge increase?
In the upper course of a river, there is a V-shaped valley with a steep gradient as the water is constantly using up the majority of its energy to overcome friction. As a river flows downstream, the valley becomes a U-shape and the gradient decreases. This is because there is less gravitational pull towards the sea/lake level. Also towards the middle and lower courses, there are more tributaries and confluences which will add more discharge to the river basin. This is constantly happening and thus, as it flows downstream it increases. The velocity also increases as there is more discharge.
How is deposition a part of the erosion process?
The part of the erosion process in which sediment is placed in a new location, or deposited.
What part does wind play in erosion?
Wind picks up sediment which causes erosion when it hits the rock.

What is the river system that has had many years of erosion causing it to form meanders and appear flatter?
That part of the river system is known as a maturelandscape.

What part of a river would you have best luck growing food?
The flood plain. Delta
Why is weathering important to the rock cycle?
If there is no weather on earth we might not be able to live. weather also brings us food by giving us rain for our crops.
What part do weathering and erosion play in the creation of the grand canyon?
Everything. That's how it was formed. The Colorado River and wind and rain. Also the type of rocks and soil
What part of erosion is Yosemite valley?
