Erosion

• Over time, layers and layers of sediments get deposited by water or wind.

• When a river flows and carries pieces of rock with it. Wind and glaciers can also carry rocks and sediments to different places.

• Rock is broken into smaller pieces by colliding with other objects; broken by rolling rocks, earthquakes, people, water, and frost wedging.

• Rock material gets carried away and added (deposited) to a new place.
