Weathering
- The destructive process that changes solid rock into smaller pieces through chemical or mechanical means.
Erosion
- The destructive process that moves the broken-down sediment.
Deposition
- The constructive process that lays down or places weathered and eroded materials in a location separate from their source.
Constructive and Destructive Forces
- Constructive forces build up new structures (e.g. deposition, cooling lava)
- Destructive forces damage structures (e.g. weathering, erosion)
