1. Water:
* Erosion: Moving water, whether in rivers, streams, oceans, or even rain, can wear away rock and soil, carrying it downstream or out to sea.
* Deposition: As the water slows down, it loses energy and deposits the sediment it was carrying, creating features like deltas, beaches, and floodplains.
2. Wind:
* Erosion: Wind can pick up loose particles of sand, silt, and dust, carrying them long distances. This process is called "deflation."
* Deposition: When the wind slows down, it drops the sediment it was carrying, creating sand dunes, loess deposits, and even dust storms.
3. Glaciers:
* Erosion: Glaciers are massive sheets of ice that slowly move over the land. As they move, they scrape, grind, and pluck rock and soil, creating valleys, cirques, and other glacial features.
* Deposition: As glaciers melt, they release the sediment they carried, creating glacial till, moraines, and outwash plains.
