Weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces, erosion is the movement of these pieces from one place to another, and deposition is the dropping or settling of these pieces in a new location. Weathering occurs on the spot where the rock is, erosion involves the transport of the weathered material, and deposition results in the accumulation of the transported material in a new location.

What order does erosion deposition and weathering occur?

Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, which are then transported by erosion to new locations. Deposition occurs when the eroded material settles in a new location, building up layers of sediment. So, the order is weathering, erosion, and then deposition.
