Answer: The material formed by weathering that is then eroded and deposited is called SEDIMENTS.
Explanation:
Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down to form Sediments. There are three forces that can cause weathering of a rock they include:
- Biological weathering: example tree roots, and lichens.
- Chemical weathering: example, water, acid, or gases.
- Mechanical weathering: example, wind, rain, water freezing.
These Sediments that are generated during the course of weathering is moved from one place to another through a natural force called EROSION. The dropping of the Sediments in a new place is known as deposition. The collective effects of weathering,erosion and deposition leads to:
- landslides
-Changes in shape, size and texture of land forms.
- soil formation
- washes soil, pollutants, harmful sediments into water ways. I hope this helps, thanks.
