Answers. 1  Erosion is the process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil from one place to another. Gravity, running water, glaciers, waves, and wind all cause erosion. The material moved by erosion is sediment. When the agents of erosion lay down sediment, deposition occurs. Deposition changes the shape of the land. Weathering, erosion, and deposition act together in a cycle that wears down and builds up Earth's surface.
