Erosion and Weathering

200

When a river is carrying eroded sediment, what causes the sediment to finally begin to drop and be deposited?

When the speed of the water decreases

200
How are hills and mountains represented on a topographic map?

Concentric circles that get smaller and smaller

The process in which sediment is moved from one place to another

Erosion

300

Explain the erosion rate between these two stones over time 

The sandstone will erode much faster because it is not as hard or dense
