Deposition is the result of erosion because,

• Erosion is defined as the removal of soil, sediment, regolith, and rock fragments from the landscape.

• Most landscapes show obvious evidence of erosion. Erosion is responsible for the creation of hills and valleys.

• It removes sediments from areas that were once glaciated, shapes the shorelines of lakes and coastlines,

• and transports material downslope from elevated sites. In order for erosion to occur three processes must take place: detachment, entrainment and transport. Erosion also requires a medium to move material.

• Wind, water, and ice are the mediums primarily responsible for erosion.

• Finally, the process of erosion stops when the transported particles fall out of the transporting medium and settle on a surface. This process is called deposition.
