How is the Earth's surface affected by

Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition?

Weathering- “Breaking down”
The breakdown of rocks on
Earth’s Surface into smaller
pieces

What causes it?

 Water
 Plants
 Wind
 Ice
 Heating and cooling
 Erosion- “Take away”
The process of many
weathered rocks and soil
from one place to another.

Deposition – “Drops”

Occurs when water slows

down and drops the rocks
and sediments it carries.
