1.
The process by which soil and rocks are added or piled up in one place. This occurs when moving water or wind lose their energy and can no longer carry the particles, causing them to settle on the ground.
2.
Small particles of dirt and sand that are carried by water or wind. These particles can settle and accumulate on the Earth's surface during the process of deposition.
3.
The force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. In the context of deposition, gravity plays a role in causing weathered particles to settle out of water or wind and build up on the Earth's surface.
4.
The process of wearing away or removing soil and rocks from the Earth's surface. It is often caused by the movement of water and wind, which carry away particles and transport them to other locations.
5.
Sorting: A pattern of deposition that occurs in moving water, such as rivers and streams. It refers to the process where sediments of different sizes and shapes are deposited at different rates, with larger and heavier particles settling first
6.
Delta: A landform that forms at the end of a river. It is created when the water slows down or becomes still, causing sediments to be deposited and build up over time. River deltas often have a triangular shape and are formed by the accumulation of
