landscaping would be similar to mars. Erosion is often confused with weathering, people

believe that erosion is the act of breaking down sediments when in fact it is a mode of

transportation for these broken down sediments. Such modes of transportation are;

running water, glacial movement, and wind. Erosion by definition is, the process by which

earth materials are moved by natural agents like moving water, wind and ice. Deposition is

the depositing of theses sediments in certain areas. for example wind deposits sand on any

object where it continues to be deposited and forms a sand dune a large deposit if sand.

erosion and deposition happens in many ways in forms and in many places.

Running water is the most effective agent of erosion on the earth. running water

includes all water that falls on earth and moves down hill under the pull of gravity, be it

rain, snow or any other form of precipitation. like other agents of erosion, waters energy

comes from the sun. The sun lifts water by evaporation and eventually it is redeposited all

over the world. A key word to running water is carrying power. the carrying power of

continental doesn't need one. a continental glacier will shape the land by carving it out and

completely separate the meander which forms an oxbow lake ("b" in diagram). running

Continental glaciers are be born in polar regions of high altitude, almost any area that is

causing weathering. Deflation is the act of wind picking up sediments and blowing them
