What are some of the forces affecting both the erosion and deposition of materials?

Wind carrying grains of sand will erode rocks by abrasion. Rain water seeps into cracks in the rock, and the expansion of ice formed during winter, causes pieces of rock to break off, forming scree. Rain flowing towards the sea will carry gravel, sand, and silt with it, more so when in flood. The heavier gravel will be deposited first, while the lighter sand and silt will be carried furthest, even forming sand-bars in the river mouth.

What kind of landform is formed by deposition?
No. Cliffs may be formed by faulting or by differing rates of erosion.
What is erosion and deposition?
An example of erosion is if let's say that there was a river on top of a mountain. As time passes by, the water will rub against the rocks and it will rub against it so much that it will go through the rocks and then it will end up splitting through the mountain. An example of deposition is if let's say there is a river. As rocks and dirt fall into the water the river will carry the rocks and dirt down into an ocean or sea, and that will drop off the dirt somewhere else and so on.
What are some examples of erosion and deposition?
for erosion it would sediment transporting by water and for deposition would be sand dunes cause wind can carry sediment and deposits on the sand dune the forces that sediment can be carry is throught wind, water, ice, and gravity. I hope this helps you :D
What forces cause igneous rock to change to Sedimentary rock?
erosion,deposition,cementation,compaction,weathering
What forces cause erosion and deposition?
Primarily a combination of Gravity, solar energy in the form of wind or waves, and tectonic forces Erosion is the movement of sediment and deposition is when that sediment gets placed somewhere else. Water falls to the Earth in the water cycle, and gravity pulls the water (or ice) down hill, carrying sediment with it (erosion). As the speed of the water slows as the slope decreases, the larger and larger pieces of sediment are settled out of the water by the force of gravity, becoming deposited someplace else. If there is no water present, sediment can be transported by any other fluid as well, usually air in the form of wind. As the wind slows, gravity is again the main factor in deposition. Tectonic forces also cause events such as lava flows, mass wasting etc.
What forces created Earht?
weathering,erosion,and deposition.....that's all i know
What are the five major forces involved in erosion and deposition?
water, wind, glaciers,gravity
What forces help to shape the Earth's surface?
Deposition,compaction,cementation,erosion,and weathering
What kind of landform is formed by deposition?
No. Cliffs may be formed by faulting or by differing rates of erosion.
Examples of constructive forces?
Volcanoes, Deposition, Tectonic Plates (Constructs various landforms), erosion, and mid ocean ridges

What are similarities between constructive and destructive forces?
Landforms are a result of a combination of constructive and destructive forces. Collection and analysis of data indicates that constructive forces include crustal deformation, faulting, volcanic eruption and deposition of sediment, while destructive forces include weathering and erosion.
What forces cause deposition?
Deposition is caused by glaciers, water, and wind.
What some non examples of erosion?
non-examples of erosion would be fire or anything that does not have to do with waterice and Nanon.
Explain the process of gradation in detail?
Exogenetic forces are constantly working to bring about levelling or the gradation of land. They attempt to achieve a condition of balance between erosion and deposition which mean a graded position. The above forces operate through the process called 'Gradation'. Agents of gradation like rivers, glaciers winds, sea, waves and underground water perform their task with the help of the triple action of weathering, erosion and deposition. The filling up of elevated portions of the earth's surfaces is done by erosion. The filling up of depressions is done by deposition of the eroded material transported by the external agents of gradation as spoken earlier. A surface can be said to be a featureless plain if it is neither being filled nor levelled by exogenetic forces. However, such areas are never permanent as both endogenetic and exogenetic forces continue undoing the work of each other.
