The wind slows down when it blows against a building, causing the sediment it was carrying to pile up next to the building. This is an example of

• Weathering

• Erosion

• Deposition

Wind picks up dry sand and blows it across a field. This is an example of

Sediment freezes to the bottom of a glacier and moves with the ice. This is an example of

• Weathering

• Erosion

• Deposition

Rocks and sediment are left behind at the bottom of a mountain after a glacier melts. This is an example of

• Weathering

• Erosion

• Deposition

Wind blows sand against a rock formation, slowly wearing the rock down. This is an example of

• Weathering
