How does erosion have anything to do with the rock cycle?
Erosion transports weathered material from all three rock types in the rock cycle to a point of deposition where it can lithify into sedimentary rock.
What comes first compaction or cementation or erosion or deposition?
The order is as follows: 1. Erosion 2. Deposition 3. Compaction 4. Cementation
What are some similarities between erosion and weathering?
they both have to do with sediments
How are weathering erosion and deposition related to the rock cycle?
by weathering
What is the correct order of the process responsible for the formation of sedimentary rock?
In clastic (or detrital) sedimentary rock:Weathering of an existing body of igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rock by natural mechanical or chemical means.Erosion of the weathered particles by wind, water, ice, and gravity.Deposition of the particles after transportation.Compaction of the particles by the weight of overlying sediments.Cementation of the particles by mineral precipitation from surrounding fluids.
Why does erosion happen before deposition?
Without erosion of particles, deposition (depositing) would have no particles to deposit. So erosion must come first.
Is a kettle a result of a deposition or erosion?
kettle is a result of erosion though the material is an ancient deposition
Is the kettle a result of erosion or deposition?
kettle is a result of erosion though the material is an ancient deposition
What are weathering erosion and deposition The science work?
weathering is the breaking down of materials eg,rocks by the elements. erosion is the moving around of these material deposition is this material being added to landforms
Are Glacial lakes a result of erosion or deposition?
erosion because the carry the rock particles ( i think don't trust me)
Are sea caves erosion or deposition?
Delta is deposition beach is deposition canyon is erosion sea cave is erosion sand dune is deposition
What comes first erosion or deposition?
weathering then erosion ,then deposition
Is a desert erosion or deposition?
A desert is both erosion and deposition.
What are the synonyms for weathering erosion deposition?
Weathering, erosion, and deposition.
Are tributaries erosion or deposition?
Both erosion and deposition.
In what order do deposition weathering and erosion occur?
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
When does deposition occur during the overall erosion process?
The process of erosion (removal of material) is not the same as the process of deposition (the adding of material). As they are two separate processes, deposition is not a part of the overall erosion process. However, without eroded sediments, there would be nothing to deposit, the two processes are therefore sequential (and part of the overall encompassing rock cycle processes).
