Answer
They both move rock particles or soil from one place to another.
Erosion is the breaking down into sediment particles, erosion usually will move and take away and make smaller. Example is erosion of a rock or a coastal area.
Deposition must have erosion first to break down, then the sediment is moved and dropped, building up an area with sediment.
