water cause a river’s banks to change?

Water can erode a river’s banks and carry away sediment, making the river wider. Sediment deposited on a river’s banks makes the river

What is: DEPOSITION?

$300MoLten rock that reaches

earth’s surface

What is: LAVA?

$400

the wearing away of Earth’s surface by the

breakdown and transportation of rock and

soil

What is EROSION?

$500the natural processes that break down and change rock into soil, sand, and other materials; differs from erosion in that no transportation of those materials takes place

What is WEATHERING?
