- Q11What is weathering?the process that squeezes sediments togetherthe breaking down of rocks into smaller piecesthe movement of sedimentsthe process by which dissolved minerals glue sediments together300s
- Q12What is erosion?the process that squeezes sediments togetherthe breaking down of rocks into sedimentsthe process in which sediments settle out of the air or waterthe movement of sediments to other locations300s
- Q13What is deposition?the movement of sedimentsthe process in which sediments settle out of the air or waterthe process that squeezes sediments togetherthe process by which dissolved minerals cement sediments together300s
