Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rocks break down into smaller pieces through a chemical or physical process called weathering. Once the rock has been broken down, the resulting sediment can then be transported by agents such as water or wind and deposited in a new location, where sedimentation may occur. Erosion and transportation refer specifically to the movement of sediment once it has been broken down and does not involve the initial process of weathering.
