Eroded rock and soil particles settle in a process called deposition.

Here's a breakdown:

* Erosion: The process of moving weathered rock and soil from one place to another by wind, water, or ice.

* Deposition: The process where the eroded material is dropped or settled in a new location.

Think of it like a river carrying sand downstream. The river (the agent of erosion) carries the sand (the eroded material) until it reaches a calmer area, where it slows down and deposits the sand (deposition).
