Question

how does the action of deposition contrast with the actions of weathering and erosion? weathering and erosion allow for the building of new land masses. deposition is the wearing away of land masses. deposition is a building process. weathering and erosion are wearing - down processes. weathering and erosion allow for the formation of fossils. deposition is the breaking up of fossils. deposition always occurs slowly, over a long period of time. weathering and erosion always occur quickly.

Explanation:

Weathering breaks down rocks in place, erosion moves the broken material, and deposition drops or deposits that material to build up land or features. The correct option correctly identifies deposition as a building process, while weathering and erosion are wearing-down (destructive) processes.

Answer:

Deposition is a building process. Weathering and erosion are wearing-down processes.
