what is erosion?
the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.
a concept used to explain how the three basic rock types are related and how Earth processes, over geologic time, change a rock from one type into another.
what is deposition?

the laying down of sediment carried by wind, flowing water, the sea or ice.
what is a igneous rock
a igneous rock is a rock that forms when magma or lava cools

what is sediment
sediment fragments of organic or inorganic material that are transported and deposited by wind
the natural process by which atmospheric and environmental agents, such as wind, rain, and temperature changes, disintegrate and decompose rocks
