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 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.
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 part of a cycle shapes and reshapes land?
answer is deposition and erosion~
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 is sandbar part of erosion or deposition?
neither
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 process changes rock on earth's surface?
weathering,erosion, and deposition
Are sea caves erosion or deposition?
Delta is deposition beach is deposition canyon is erosion sea cave is erosion sand dune is 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.
What comes first erosion or deposition?
weathering then erosion ,then deposition
Is a desert erosion or deposition?
A desert is both erosion and deposition.
What are the synonyms for weathering erosion deposition?
Weathering, erosion, and deposition.
