Which of the following is the best way to model the process of erosion?
Mechanical weathering
landslide
Erosion caused by water moves sediments downstream
Compaction
water erodes the sediments and deposits them into the water.
The larger sediments are deposited first and the smaller sediments are eroded more and deposited later.
Weathering
Using a bucket to pour water onto dirt, causing the sand to move to another location.
Which of the following best explains how this delta forms?
Mechanical weathering
landslide
Erosion caused by water moves sediments downstream
Compaction
water erodes the sediments and deposits them into the water.
The larger sediments are deposited first and the smaller sediments are eroded more and deposited later.
Weathering
Using a bucket to pour water onto dirt, causing the sand to move to another location.
Which of the following is NOT an example of deposition?
Mechanical weathering
landslide
Erosion caused by water moves sediments downstream
Compaction
water erodes the sediments and deposits them into the water.
