What must happen to the agent of erosion (wind or water) in order for deposition to occur?

A) The wind or water must speed up to gather more sediment.

B) The wind or water must change direction.

C) The wind or water must slow down and gravity will pull the larger pieces out.

D) Nothing must change about the wind or water for deposition to occur.


- CORRECT ANSWER WILL BE MARKED BRAINLIEST!

Respuesta :

I am pretty sure that it is D

With decomposition, the final deposition of particles(sediments) usually occurs at the mouth of a stream. Then a process called horizontal sorting occurs where the sediments that were once carried down are arranged from big to small. Decomposition in streams takes time so the speed of the water and wind should not affect it nor should gravity or the direction. Streams cannot change direction either unless human involement occurs

Hope this helps :)
