Match the following

• Deposition

• the laying down of sediment carried by wind, flowing water, the sea or ice

• Erosion

• the process of wearing or being worn by long exposure to the atmosphere.

• Cementation

• happens when sediments are deeply buried, placing them under pressure because of the weight of overlying layers

• Compaction

• the geological process in which earthen (rock) materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind, water and ice

• Weathering

• process whereby freshly deposited loose grains of sediment are converted into rock.
