Answer:

The water table fluctuates both with the seasons and from year to year because it is affected by climatic variations and by the amount of precipitation used by vegetation.
- Erosion happens when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity. Mechanical weathering physically breaks up rock. ... slow down they can't carry as much sediment. The sediment is dropped, or deposited, in landforms.
