Yes, weathering, erosion, and deposition are constant natural processes that occur on Earth's surface due to factors such as temperature changes, rainfall, and wind. These processes happen continuously over time, shaping landscapes and contributing to geological changes.
A stream, which flows in a channel, is formed as a result of erosion as the channel itself must be formed from erosion. Deposition is not common here, but there is a lot of loose material in the stream which is eroded over time, which has been put there through erosion. The material is first eroded further, then transported, and will ultimately be deposited at the mouth.
Erosion can change the roads you drive on. It can also change, if powerful enough, house or small building foundations. Weathering can wear down, let's just say a tree by your house. It wears the tree down and down until finally the tree falls. These can also happen a lot more quickly in natural disasters.
Erosion occurs all around the world, mainly in areas with exposed soil, steep slopes, and high rainfall. Common locations for erosion include river banks, coastlines, arid deserts, and deforested areas. Human activities like mining, agriculture, and urban development can also accelerate erosion.
A Landslide is a large proportion of mud/rock that gives way under a lot of water/pressure which will literally slide down the face it is based upon. Erosion is only in small amounts, it is not recorded as a large break away at once, or for deposition the same story
Chemical weathering happens quickly in environments with warm temperatures, lot's of rainfall, and lush vegetation. These conditions produce thick soils that are rich in organic matter. When the carbon dioxide formed from the organic matter mixes with rainwater, it forms carbonic acid, which is a big factor in chemical weathering. In which could take place in tropical rainforests.
An increase in rainfall can increase the slope of a stream by eroding the surrounding land and steepening the riverbanks. Conversely, a decrease in rainfall or the deposition of sediment along the streambed can decrease the slope of a stream by smoothing out its gradient.
All the mentioned process work to change the course of the river, deepening valleys, and carrying sediment to lakes, seas and oceans.
The word deposition refers to the action of giving or showing evidence. It can also mean that someone deposes someone else.

Weathering and erosion occur in the Grand Canyon due to the exposure of the rock layers to natural elements like wind, water, and ice. Over time, these forces break down and transport sediment, gradually carving out the canyon's unique landscape. The combination of physical and chemical processes acting on the rocks contributes to the ongoing transformation of the Grand Canyon.
It was first believed that the erosion on the sphinx due to weather was caused by water rather than wind. Further studies indicated that water erosion is a lot like salt exfoliation in appearance, which is caused by changes in humidity but no actual water. Therefore, theories vary concerning the source of erosion on the sphinx.

Vegetation. Clearing the land is a cause of a lot of erosion.

Erosion happens anywhere there is a soft (or non-durable) surface. Softer, siltier soils are prone to erosion, as are wet areas where there is a lot of mud. Often, hikers will step off the maintained trail if it is rutted and wet, forging a new parallel trail to the established trail; doing so tramples and kills vegetation, which leads to more erosion. Erosion happens on steep slopes if they are not properly drained. Also, hikers can cause erosion by cutting switchbacks instead of walking their full length. Basically this is just where a new path is cut by lots of people walking along it.
