Analysis 2

Erosion breaks rocks down into sediments through weathering processes, which are then transported by water, ice or wind and deposited elsewhere when the carrying agent slows down. For example, hitting a rock with a hammer to represent erosion will cause small rock pieces to fall into a model river, be carried by the flowing water, and deposited where the river flow stops.

Erosion always leads to deposition ​ by the 
weathering because it breaks the rocks then the 
sediments fall into the river and the river then drops 
the sediments which is called deposition​
.​In the text it 
says “ It occurs when pieces of rock or soil settle out 
of flowing water,ice,or winds they slow 
down.”(C-25-1p)​
What I’m trying to say is that when the 
wind,water or ice gets into the rock it breaks apart 
little by little and then the pieces of sediments of 
the rock fall down towards the ground or a river then 
the river carries the sediments and then deposits the 
sediments down the river.EXAMPLE:Imagine you created a 
little landform of a river and the water is flowing and 
then you get a rock and hit it with a hammer and then 
you see that the small pieces of the rock falls down 
the little river and then you see where the river stops 
the river drops the sediments which it is deposited.
