Erosion is the process of rock or soil being washed away by wind or water. In this process the particles are carried from the parent rock and when the force of wind or water drops , the particles of sand or dust drop to the surface leaving deposition. Wind erosion is called aeolian erosion. As the particles are blown or washed along, they bounce in steady patterns along the ground, so when the wind drops they are deposited in patterns, hence the patterns of ripples on desert sand and at the bottom of the sea, this bouncing is called saltation.
What else can I help you with?
Explain the difference between erosion and deposition?
Glacial erosion is the process by which a glacial flows over the land, picking up rocks. Glacial deposition is the process by which a glacier gathers a huge amount of rock and soil as it Erodes the land in the path
What deposition can gradually fill up depressions in earths surface?
Deposition by erosion , could fill a depression , the same erosion creates depressions.
How can absolute age based on rates of erosion and deposition be inaccurate?
The absolute age of rock is determined by the amount of radioactive decay, not by the rate of erosion and deposition.
Is drumlin erosion or deposition?
Drumlins are caused by both erosion and deposition. These drumlins are found in the lowlands of Scotland and are small egg shaped hills.
Was the Arkansas River Valley formed by erosion or depostion?
The Arkansas River was formed by erosion, not deposition.
What comes first erosion or deposition?
weathering then erosion ,then deposition
Is a desert erosion or deposition?
Desert landscapes can experience both erosion and deposition. Erosion occurs when wind and water remove sediment and rocks, shaping the land, while deposition involves sediment and rocks being deposited in certain areas by wind or water. The balance between erosion and deposition helps create the unique features found in desert environments.
What shaped earths surface?
Erosion and deposition shapes the Earth's surface.
What comes first weathering erosion deposition?
weathering then erosion ,then deposition
In what order do deposition weathering and erosion occur?
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
What is Difference between erosion and deposition?
Erosion is when wind or water physically wear away at an object Deposition is the debris removed by erosion or other events (landslides, floods, etc.) accumulates (is deposited) at another location.
