Whats the difference between erosion and deposition

• Erosion is the process of adding materials, while deposition is the process of removing materials.
• Erosion and deposition are the same process.
• Erosion and deposition are both caused by wind.
• Erosion is the removal of materials, while deposition is the laying down of materials.

What is erosion

• The process of wearing away or displacing soil, rock, or other materials through the action of wind, water, or ice.
• The process of creating new landforms through the action of wind, water, or ice.
• The process of eradicating all forms of life in a particular area.
• The process of building up soil, rock, or other materials through the action of wind, water, or ice.

Why does Michigan have a gap in the fossil record

• volcanic activity
• erosion and non-deposition
• global warming
• tectonic plate movement

what conditions are needed for there to be a continuous fossil record?

• THere needs to be a constant supply of sediments and water so that fossils can always be forming.

• Those sediments need to be undisturbed so they can build up enough to compact and cemented rocks are preserving the fossils

• weathering and erosion

• heat and pressure

How do processes like river deposition, glaciation, and events like impacts and extinctions make up Earth's history are preserved in the rock and fossil records

• Processes like river deposition, glaciation, and events like impacts and extinctions are preserved in the rock and fossil records through magic.
• Processes like river deposition, glaciation, and events like impacts and extinctions are preserved in the rock and fossil records through human intervention.
• Processes like river deposition, glaciation, and events like impacts and extinctions are not preserved in the rock and fossil records.
• Processes like river deposition, glaciation, and events like impacts and extinctions are preserved in the rock and fossil records through various mechanisms.

how is erosion and deposition both related to fossils forming

• Erosion destroys fossils while deposition creates them.
• Erosion and deposition have no relation to the formation of fossils.
• Erosion and deposition only affect the appearance of fossils, not their formation.
• Erosion exposes fossils while deposition preserves them.
