Differences between Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition
By Tim Thode
weathering is the breaking down of the rocks, soil, and minerals as well as artificial materials through contact with the Earth's Atmosphere, biota and waters.
Weathering
Erosion
Erosion is the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents.
Erosion can dissolve rock, weakening it or turning it into tiny fragments.
the process of Erosion moves bits of rock or soil from one place to another.
Deposition
Deposition is the process by which sediments settles out of the water or wind that is carrying it, and is deposited in a new location.
Deposition transports previously eroded sediments, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.
