Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition

Weathering is:

• rock breaking apart into smaller pieces

• rocks moving from one place to another

• rocks and sediment dropped in a new location and building new landforms

• small pieces of rock

Erosion is:

• rock breaking apart into smaller pieces

• rocks moving from one place to another

• rocks and sediment dropped in a new location and building new landforms

• small pieces of rock
