Describe the process of weathering,erosion, and deposition.
Answers
Answer:
The rock cycle is the process by which rocks of one kind change into rocks of another kind.
There are three main kinds of rocks: igneous rock,
metamorphic rock
sedimentary rock.
Weathering :
Weathering is the process where rock. is dissolved, worn away or broken down into smaller and smaller pieces. There are mechanical, chemical and organic weathering processes. Organic weathering happens when plants break up rocks with their growing roots or plant acids help dissolve rock.
Erosion :
Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water. A similarprocess, weathering, breaks down or dissolves rock, but does not involve movement. ... Most erosion is performed by liquid water, wind, or ice (usually in the form of a glacier.
Deposition :
Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.
