<span>Climax community=when the ecosystem reaches its mature state. After every disturbance, the ecological succession will culminate in the climax community. For example, ecological succession triggered by fires in Yellowstone Park culminates in pine forests. Pioneer species are the first species to colonize an area after a disturbance occurs. They reproduce quickly and survive in harsh conditions. For example, lichens.</span>
Erosion is the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents. Erosion can dissolve rock, weakening it or turning it into tiny fragments. Deposition is the process by which sediments settles out of the water or wind that is carrying it, and is deposited in a new location. <span>Deposition transports previously eroded sediments, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment. </span>
