Statue of Liberty has changed colors over time because oxygen has caused the surface of the copper it is made of to change into a new chemical (just like copper pennies turn green). What kind of weathering is this?

______________________ occurs when eroded materials stop moving and begin to build up.

_______________ moves material from one place to another.

This is an example of _____________________________.
