Answer:

The erosion will start to break down the mountain range, while deposition will transport the sediments somewhere else. Erosion will occur either by water, wind, ice, plant roots or acid rain; However, deposition will only occur by wind or water. So in conclusion, over time the mountain range will become smaller and weaker without the rock still there.
