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.
Deposition (geology) Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment. Deposition occurs when the forces responsible for sediment transportation are no longer sufficient to overcome the forces of gravity and friction, creating a resistance to motion, this is known as the null-p
