Presumably you mean rocks. Well, mountains erode into rivers, which take the eroded matter downstream and deposit them into the sea. This then forms a sea bed of sand, which compresses underneath more sand to form solid rock again. This rock is then usually pushed (by tectonic movement) into new land elsewhere. Thus the cycle starts again.

What part of a cycle shapes and reshapes land?

Erosion and deposition are the parts of the cycle that shape and reshape land. Erosion by water, wind, or ice removes soil and rock, while deposition involves the settling of eroded materials in new locations, changing the landscape over time.


What are examples of erosion deposition and weathering?

Processes affecting the surface of the Earth and part of the Rock Cycle.


How are weathering erosion and deposition related to the rock cycle?

by weathering


When does deposition occur during the overall erosion process?

The process of erosion (removal of material) is not the same as the process of deposition (the adding of material). As they are two separate processes, deposition is not a part of the overall erosion process. However, without eroded sediments, there would be nothing to deposit, the two processes are therefore sequential (and part of the overall encompassing rock cycle processes).


What process changes rock on earth's surface?

weathering,erosion, and deposition


How does erosion have anything to do with the rock cycle?

Erosion transports weathered material from all three rock types in the rock cycle to a point of deposition where it can lithify into sedimentary rock.


How are erosion and depisition related?

Erosion is the process of wearing away rocks and soil by natural forces like water, wind, and ice, while deposition is the process of depositing eroded material in a new location. Erosion occurs first by breaking down the material, and then deposition happens as the eroded material is transported and settled in a new location. Essentially, erosion and deposition are part of the continuous cycle of reshaping the Earth's surface.


What comes first erosion or deposition?

weathering then erosion ,then deposition


How erosion and deposition are related?

Erosion and deposition have an amazingly close relationship. Erosion and depositions are the exact opposites of each other in terms of land.


What shaped earths surface?

In what order do deposition weathering and erosion occur?

first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
