What is the difference between erosion and deposition?

Geography
1 answer:
Verdich [7]3 years ago

<span>Erosion is the displacement of solids (soil, mud, rock and other particles) by the agents of wind, water or ice, by downward or down-slope movement in response to gravity or by living organisms (in the case of bioerosion). 

Deposition, also known as sedimentation, is the geological process whereby material is added to a landform. This is the process by which wind, water or ice create a sediment deposit, through the laying down of granular material that has been eroded and transported from another geographical location. 

Deposition occurs when the forces responsible for sediment transportation are no longer sufficient to overcome the forces of particle weight and friction, which resist motion. Deposition can also refer to the build up of a sediment from organically derived matter or chemical processes. For example, chalk is made up partly of the microscopic calcium carbonate skeletons of marine plankton, the deposition of which has induced chemical processes (diagenesis) to deposit further calcium carbonate.</span>

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

A)

Explanation:

I found the rest of your question.

A. increased water scarcity B. overfishing C. decreased soil salinity D. deforestation

Overfishing, decreased soil salinity and deforestation are concerns about agricultural production and its effect but the increased water scarcity is not.

Overfishing is considering a fish species from the water and because of that population of fish is lack which is not good.

Soil salinity can stop the plant from growing and also the quality of water.

Deforestation is the removal of forests or trees and it has a big effect on agricultural production.

What are the 2 major sources of Earth's interior heat ?
sergey [27]

The heat that remains inside the Earth from its creation and radioactive decay are its main heat sources.

The deep earth receives heat from three main sources: (1) heat left over from the planet's formation and accretion, (2) frictional heating brought on by denser core material sinking to the planet's centre, and (3) heat from radioactive element decay.

The energy produced when unstable atoms decay is known as radioactivity, and it is a substantial contributor to the Earth's heat. The main source are the radioactive isotopes of uranium-235 (235U), uranium-238 (238U), potassium-40 (40K), and thorium-232 (232Th) in the Earth's mantle.
