What is the difference between erosion and deposition?

A. Erosion is the accumulation of sediments in low-lying areas due to the action of gravity, water, ice, or wind; deposition is the breaking down of rocks into sediments by physical or chemical processes.

B. Erosion is the breaking down of rocks into sediments by physical or chemical processes; deposition is the accumulation of sediments in low-lying areas due to the action of gravity, water, ice, or wind.

C. Erosion is the removal of sediments by gravity, water, ice, or wind; deposition is the accumulation of sediments in low-lying areas due to the action of gravity, water, ice, or wind.
D. Erosion is the breaking down of rocks into sediments by physical or chemical processes;
deposition is the removal of sediments by gravity, water, ice, or wind.

Answer 1

Answer: C. Erosion is the removal of sediments by gravity, water, ice, or wind; deposition is the accumulation of sediments in low-lying areas due to the action of gravity, water, ice, or wind.

Explanation: Erosion is taken away and deposition is displacement or movement from one area to another. In both cases, there is movement and a change in the surface.
