Exploring Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition

Devin explains natural processes involving weathering, erosion, and deposition. He describes how rocks break down through weathering, are moved by erosion, and settle as sediment through deposition after water evaporation. The video concludes with a recap of these processes.

What is the process called when rocks break down from a larger rock?

• Sedimentation

• Erosion

• Weathering

• Deposition

What happens to the rocks after they are broken down by weathering?

• They turn into soil

• They dissolve in water

• They move down the hill

• They form new rocks
