What is erosion and deposition?

Answer 1

An example of erosion is if let's say that there was a river on top of a mountain. As time passes by, the water will rub against the rocks and it will rub against it so much that it will go through the rocks and then it will end up splitting through the mountain. An example of deposition is if let's say there is a river. As rocks and dirt fall into the water the river will carry the rocks and dirt down into an ocean or sea, and that will drop off the dirt somewhere else and so on.

Answer 2

hi! erosion and deposition are forces that changes landscapes. erosion forces are wind, water. And deposition is mostly wind. Erosion is a force that moves sediments. Deposition deposits sediments. Hope this helps. GLAD TO HELP. :)And I'm in fifth grade!

Answer 3

Erosion is the process of wearing away and transporting rocks and sediment by natural forces like water, wind, ice, and gravity. Deposition is the process by which eroded material is laid down or deposited in a new location, typically when the agent of erosion loses its energy.
