What has to happen before a rock layer can be deposited?
Before a rock layer can be deposited, the area must undergo erosion and weathering. This breaks down existing rocks into sediment which can then be transported and deposited in a new location. The process of deposition occurs when the sediment settles into a new location and forms a layer over time.
Why must weathering happen before erosion?
In 'normal' situations, a body of rock must first be broken down into smaller units before it is able to be transported by wind, water, and ice. The breaking down of rock is called weathering, and the transportation of weathered rock is called erosion.
