Erosion & Deposition

When you hear the word erosion, what do you think?  What about deposition, what does that word mean to you?  Do you know anything that either of these two processes create?  Is there anything you would like to do in class when learning about erosion and deposition?

  1. erosion is where and object is wearing away slowly by the power of wind water gravity and other. Its how canyons and rivers are formed. deposition is an object being disposed like dropped off. i don't know much about this word but i do know it means to get rid of or drop off something.I would like to learn more about deposition

  2. The word erosion means the break down of rock and minerals. this forms in to soil.
    Deposition is the deposit of broken down rocks and minerals. the both create our soil in the ground to day. We should look at old pictures of back in the day of like shore lines and other stuff like that and compare them to newer pictures like that and see what erosion does to the earth.

  3. When I think of erosion, I think of rocks being broken down into smaller pieces. When I think of deposition, I think of rocks and minerals being disposed. Deposition usually occurs nears glaciers or water. Erosion usually occurs on rocks. I think erosion makes soil, but I'm not positive.

  4. When I hear the word erosion I think of rocks and minerals being broken down into smaller pieces and then being transferred to new locations. When I hear the word deposition, I think of eroded rocks and minerals being carried away from their original spot to a new position or location.

    These two processes create small rocks out of large mountains. These two processes can also create hills and mountains over long periods of time. Hills and mountains are created if rocks and minerals erode in one area to build up into a larger, and higher, land area.

    When learning about erosion and deposition, I think that it would be cool to experiment with wind erosion by blowing on a pile of rocks, sand or dirt.

  5. When I heard the word erosion, I think of the process that breaks things down. When I heard the word deposition, I think of the deposit of broken down rocks and minerals. I know today that they create the soil in our ground. I would like to do an experiment on erosion and depostion. Like for erosion we could take a piece of rock and keep pouring lots of water over it for a certain amount of time each day and see what happens over time. And for deposition we could take a piece of rock and throw it to the ground into tiny little pieces.

  6. @ Carley Snell,
    When I heard the word deposition, I think of the deposit of broken down rocks and minerals, not the dispose of them. Erosion does make soil.

  7. When I hear the word erosion I think of something that gets smaller by part of it breaking. When I hear deposition I think of rocks being carried by the wind kind of like erosion. Because of erosion and deposition canyons and rivers form like the grand canyon. I would like to do an activity with chemical and physical erosion we would have 2 rocks one we would physically cause erosion and one we would chemically cause erosion to it.

  8. When I hear the word erosion I think of rocks getting broken into smaller pieces. When I think of deposition I think of things that were taken put in different places. I know that erosion creates soil, and small pieces of land forms such as mountains.

  9. @ Joshua Whalen I also don't know much about the deposition all I know that it means carried and dropped off at another location.

  10. When I hear the word erosion I think of things breaking down into smaller pieces. When I hear the word deposition, I think of things being deposited. I don't really know anything about these two processes create, but I think it would be cool if we did an activity that was outside.

  11. When I hear the word erosion I think about the Grand Canyon and how it was formed by the Colorado river. When I hear the word deposition I think about mud and rocks being carried down a river. Deposition is water or wind carrying sand or dirt to a different place. I know that the Grand Canyon was formed by the Colorado river. I want to make a model river to show how sediment travels down a river.

    I like your idea for an activity that we could do for erosion and deposition. I thought of doing an outside activity. I think that if we put those two ideas together we could have a really fun activity to do!

  13. when i hear erosion i think of wearing away something when i hear deposition i think of deposite something somewhere i know that they created the grand canyon we could do an erosion and deposition experiment by taking a block of wood and using a pressure washer on it and then taking a rock and hitting it with a hammer. and for deposition we take a long tube stick it out the window and have a hose pour water down it and put things in the tube to see if they go down it.

  14. when i hear theword erosion i think of someting eroding away something geting deper erosion cause someting to get smaller or wider.no

  15. When I hear erosion I think of a rock being broken down into pieces then swept away by a river. When I deposition I think of a pile of broken down rocks. Erosion can make a canyon and a deposition can make a dam. I think it would be fun to try to erode a rock by making our own stream.

  16. when i hear erosion i think of breaking down. when i hear deposition i think of dropping something somewhere. for a project because i think of the great lakes we could take a piece of styrofoam and dig a hole in it and fill it with water or something like that.

  17. When I hear the word erosion, I think of thing being broken down. Deposition means to deposit.

  18. I heard the word erosion in 6th grade when we studied it. I though that it was dirt moving and blocking up steams and such. But now i know that it is the movement of materials by wind or water. Deposition is the process where the material is dropped or settled. Erosion created the Grand canyon. I would like to have rocks and over a couple of weeks see what the water has done to the rocks.

  19. I am thinkig about materials that are breaking down and those that are being dropped or settled.-Dominic Deutsch

  21. when i hear the word erosion i think of explosion or washing something when i hear the word deposition i think of moving something in a new place or position it in a different way
    Erosion creates smaller land forms by taking rock an mineral away with wind ice water or soil

  22. I think of nothing sometimes

  23. when i here erosion, i think of bigger things breaking down into smaller things. when i here deposition i think of glaciers. i would like to learn more about glaciers and deposition.

  24. Rocks. How deep is the water?Breaking down of the earth.No.
