A steep slope will experience accelerated erosion and a low level of deposition because water moves more rapidly on a steep slope than on a lesser slope. Rapidly moving water has more energy in it will exert a greater force on the slope causing particles to become carried away and for this reason the rate of erosion is higher and the rate of deposit is lower. On a lesser slope, the water moves more slowly and does not have as much energy to carry particles away. The lesser the slope, the slower the water moves, the less energy it has and the rate of deposit is higher.

What is known as the process of soil and sand being dropped in a new place?
The process of dropping soil and sand in a new place is called deposition. It can be accomplished either by wind or water erosion.
What is the process by which wind picks up sediments?
Its a type of erosion, specifically Abrasion, which is a material weathering away at a soild (the rock), and since the wind carries it away, it is Erosion.
What some non examples of erosion?
non-examples of erosion would be fire or anything that does not have to do with waterice and Nanon.
Which process causes hillsides and mountains to gradually get smaller?
Denudation. Denudational activities helps in the changing of rock and landforms on earth. The forces which helps promote denudation are reffered to as the Agents of Denudation. They include, running water, ice, waves and wind. And they act by weathering, erosion, transportion and deposition.
Explain the process of gradation in detail?
Exogenetic forces are constantly working to bring about levelling or the gradation of land. They attempt to achieve a condition of balance between erosion and deposition which mean a graded position. The above forces operate through the process called 'Gradation'. Agents of gradation like rivers, glaciers winds, sea, waves and underground water perform their task with the help of the triple action of weathering, erosion and deposition. The filling up of elevated portions of the earth's surfaces is done by erosion. The filling up of depressions is done by deposition of the eroded material transported by the external agents of gradation as spoken earlier. A surface can be said to be a featureless plain if it is neither being filled nor levelled by exogenetic forces. However, such areas are never permanent as both endogenetic and exogenetic forces continue undoing the work of each other.
How does erosion and deposition affect mountain ranges?
Deposition and erosion can wear down a mountain and cause it to shrink.
How does slope affect the erosion and deposition of a river?
A steep slope increases the water flow, and the erosion wherever the bank is formed from softer material than rock, can be quite great when the river is in flood. Deposition is increased when the flow slows in the lower reaches as the river reaches the valley, and the gravel and silt is able to settle.
How do tornadoes affect weathering erosion and deposition due the wind in Texas?
strong winds of a tornado assist weathering/erosion/deposition
How does weathering affect erosion and deposition?
it affects it on its amount of water
How will erosion deposition affect a mountain range?
Erosion and deposition affect a mountain range by wearing down a mountain in one place, and then new landforms build up in other places.
How will erosion and deposition affect a mountain range?
Erosion and deposition affect a mountain range by wearing down a mountain in one place, and then new landforms build up in other places.
How does deposition affect mountains?
Deposition and erosion can wear down a mountain and cause it to shrink.
What could happen in nature to increase or decrease the slope of a stream?
erosion deposition weathering and a lot more...
How does weathering erosion and deposition affect where people live?
no
How do erosion and deposition affect the oceans?
They make the oceans water salty.
How does weathering erosion and deposition affect delta?
it affects it on its amount of water
Are sea caves erosion or deposition?
Delta is deposition beach is deposition canyon is erosion sea cave is erosion sand dune is deposition
