Answer:
The material moved by erosion is sediment. Deposition occurs when the agents (wind or water) of erosion lay down sediment. Deposition changes the shape of the land. ... Water's movements (both on land and underground) cause weathering and erosion, which change the land's surface features and create underground formations.
- Erosion and deposition are related opposites; erosion removes sediment from a land form while deposition adds sediment to a land form.
- Erosion is defined as wearing away of rock along the coastline. Deposition is a process in which sediments, knocked rock pieces, and soil are carried by wind, gravity and water and deposited in a new location to a landform or land mass.
