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.
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.
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.
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.

first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
The word deposition refers to the action of giving or showing evidence. It can also mean that someone deposes someone else.

Sediments are created by deposition.They may further consolidate into sedimentary rocks.
A stream deposition occurs when, in the lower reaches, the flow of water (speed of flow) is reduced. Which is when the heavier sediment falls out and settles on the river bed.
