<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>

Answer:
____________________________________________________
Column 1: climate zone Column 2: characteristic
____________________________________________________
a) tropical — always near an ocean.
____________________________________________________
b) dry — heat and dryness.
____________________________________________________
c) moderate — heat and rain.
____________________________________________________
d) continental —ice year round.
_____________________________________________
The term in the column 1 that match to the column 2 are as follows:-
- Ice sheet - Size of a continent
- Erratic - Boulder or rock dropped by glaciers
- Deforestation - Increases erosion
- Glacier - Carves away the land
<h3>What is Deforestation?</h3>
Deforestation refers to the cutting down of the trees in the large quantity, which can lead to the environmental issues such as erosion of soil, flooding, loss of habitats etc. It leads to the increase in the level of the erosion as the soil loses it holds.
Ice sheet is a continental glacier in the polar region of the earth which contains 99% of the freshwater.
Erratic refers to a rock or boulder that stands out from the surrounding rocks and is said to have been transported there by glaciers.
Glacier are collection of the ice, rock and other sediments carves away the land.
