• erosion: the process of moving weathered rock particles to another location by natural forces, such as wind or water.
• sedimentation: the process of continuous deposition of rock particles, forming layers known as sediment, in locations like riverbeds and shores.
• chemical weathering: chemical composition of rocks changes through exposure to water, oxygen, or an acid.

• organic weathering: living things break down rocks on earth's surface.
• water erosion: occurs when water, such as rainfall, streams, rivers, or ocean waves, wears away soil and rock particles.
• wind erosion: occurs when strong winds blow soil and sand away, creating features like sand dunes and dust storms.
