â¢ Erosion and deposition are continuous geological processes that are natural and result in relief features seen over the surface of the earth. â¢ If erosion is seen as a sequence of events, deposition takes place at last when the rock particles finally settle down on the surface of earth.
Though deposition means the end of erosion, it does not necessarily mean that the newly settled particles are now safe. Erosion and deposition are continuous processes. Though the particles have resettled, they are likely to be picked up another day and moved somewhere else. This give-and-take process helps the environment maintain equilibrium.
