What is Deposition?
Deposition
Deposition is one of the constructive forces that build up earth's surface. Sediments are deposited into a new area by these means,
-Gravity
-Water
-Wind
-Glaciers
-Ocean currents
Deposition, weathering, and erosion work together to create landforms, like these,
-Delta
-Alluvial Fan

Terms
Deposition- the process by which eroded material is dropped off or deposited in a new area.
Sediment- bits of rock made by a destructive force.
Weathering- Is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces.
Erosion- the process which moves sediment on earth's surface and carries it away.
Delta- fan shaped pattern of sediments in a lake or ocean.
Alluvial Fan- fan shaped pattern on of sediment land.
