As water flows, it picks up particles of the ground and carries it along the stream of water. That is erosion. As water deposits into another body of water, for example the Mississippi river into the Gulf of Mexico, those particles of ground are deposited in that area. That is deposition.

Are aquifers a source of erosion or deposition?

Aquifers are not a source of erosion or deposition. They are underground layers of rock or sediment that hold water, which can flow through them. Aquifers can be eroded by the slow movement of water through them over time, but they do not cause erosion or deposition themselves.

Does surface water and ground water cause erosion and deposition?

Yes, both surface water and groundwater can cause erosion and deposition. Surface water, like rivers and streams, can erode sediment and carry it downstream, leading to deposition. Groundwater can also erode rock and soil as it flows through underground channels, contributing to erosion and resulting in sediment deposition in certain areas.

Is a canyon created by erosion or deposition?

A canyon is typically created by erosion, where the forces of water, wind, or ice gradually wear away the rock layers to form a deep and narrow chasm. Deposition, on the other hand, involves the laying down of sediment in a new location.
