Deposition and transportation are key processes in the sedimentary cycle. Transportation occurs when agents such as water, wind, or ice move sediments from one location to another, often altering their size and shape in the process. Deposition happens when the transporting medium loses energy, causing sediments to settle and accumulate in new locations, such as riverbeds, lakes, or ocean floors. These processes contribute to the formation of sedimentary rocks over time as layers of deposited materials build up and compact.

Which physical change takes place when an igneous rock turns into a sedimentary rock?
Erosion, transportation of the eroded material, deposition of this material then lithification.
Where does deposition takes place?
egypt or brazil coastal areas
What is the process of placing sediment in a new place called?
The process of placing sediment in a new place is called sediment deposition. This can occur through various natural processes such as erosion, transportation, and deposition by wind, water, or ice. Human activities like construction and dredging can also lead to sediment deposition in new locations.
Which feature was formed because more erosion took place than deposition?
A canyon or a valley may form when more erosion takes place than deposition. This can happen when the forces of erosion, such as water or ice, remove material faster than it can be replenished by deposition, resulting in a deep and steep-walled feature.
What are 3 ways that rocks can be deposited?
From a landslide, from deposition by water, and by deposition from a glacier.

What changes take place in a river during the three stages of its course?
Erosion, Transportation, Deposition
What is the process that takes place at the inside of a stream mender?
i think you mean stream meander. the process is deposition
Where is deposition dominant?
Where the source of transportation is slowest.

Human activities like construction and dredging can also lead to sediment deposition in new locations.
How can the Mississippi river increase land area?
Transportation and deposition.
How are rocks changed into sediments?
By the processes of erosion, transportation and deposition.
Is the processes of erosin and deposition are the same?
No, erosion and deposition are not the same processes. Erosion involves the movement of sediment or soil by wind, water, or ice, while deposition is the laying down of these sediments in a new location. Erosion typically occurs in one location, while deposition takes place in another location.
What are three phases of atmospheric transportation?
Release from source, dispersion and deposition.
How does deposition occur at the Grand Canyon?
Deposition is when something settles out into another place. For example, sand can be moved place to place.
