Answer:
Deposition occurs when the agents (wind or water) of erosion lay down sediment. Deposition changes the shape of the land. Erosion, weathering, and deposition are at work everywhere on Earth. Gravity pulls everything toward the center of Earth causing rock and other materials to move downhill.Larger and denser particles are heavier and land first before, less dense particles. The shape of sediment also affects deposition rates, as round pieces of sediment settle more quickly than flat pieces.
