  1. Decrease in velocity of the transporting agent (wind, water, ice).
  2. Change in temperature causing a decrease in solubility of sediment.
  3. Lack of energy to keep sediment in suspension.

What does water deposition cause?

Water deposition can cause the formation of sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone or limestone, as well as create features like deltas and alluvial fans. Over time, these processes contribute to shaping the Earth's surface and creating landscapes.


Does deposition causes earthquakes?

Deposition itself does not cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are typically caused by tectonic forces within the Earth's crust, such as the movement of tectonic plates or the release of built-up stress along faults. Deposition, which is the process of laying down sediment or rock by natural forces like water or wind, does not directly trigger earthquakes.


Which feature causes a gap in the geologic record?

An unconformity causes a gap in the geologic record, representing a period of erosion or non-deposition that results in missing layers of rock. This gap can be caused by tectonic forces, sea level changes, or other geological events that interrupt the deposition or preserve of sedimentary layers.


Is evidence that ground water causes erosion and deposition?

Groundwater can cause erosion and deposition through processes like chemical weathering of rocks, which weakens them and leads to erosion. Additionally, the movement of groundwater can carry sediment and deposit it in new areas, contributing to deposition. These processes can be significant in shaping landforms and landscapes over time.
