Question

Explain how the product of weathering are carried away by erosion and deposited elsewhere

Answer 1

Answer:

Erosion relies on transporting agents such as wind, rivers, ice, snow and downward movement of materials to carry weathered products away from the source area. As weathered products are carried away, fresh rocks are exposed to further weathering. Over time, that mountain or hill is gradually worn down

Answer 2

The product of weathering is carried away by erosion and deposited elsewhere with the help of erosional and depositional agents.

• The exposed weathered material is carried away by erosional agents such as wind and water. This process is called erosion in which weathered materials are eroded from an exposed area.
• These erosional agents carry the weathered material with them and deposit it to some other places. This is called deposition that leads to the formation of new landmasses.
