Types of Erosion
Deposition is the laying down of materials that have been transported and can create new landforms
Transportation is the movement of material along the coast by waves or along a river bed by the river.
Weathering: this is known as the breakdown of material in the place they were found by physical, chemical and biological processes.
Chemical Weathering examples. Water can reach with some rocks to break them down. Air can weaken minerals through a process called oxidation
Living things can break the rocks and ground. Burrows and roots are an example
Physical weathering the physical actions of rain, frost and wind. This creates weakness in rocks
